I substituted the hamburger rolls with Grands jr. Flattened them out and baked. I also substituted the chili (can't eat spicy) with a sweet BBQ sauce. My pork was leftovers. Easy and delicious. Will make again

It was a very easy recipe. Just put everything in a slow cooker and come back in a few hours to a delicious meal.

The thyme was extremely overpowering and I even had 1 more lb of meat than the recipe called for. The pork just fell apart which was great but the seasoning was just all wrong. I'm not the greatest cook (which is why I have to get recipes from different sites, so now I don't know what I can do to try and "doctor" up the leftovers so they don't go to waste. :o(

I made this for my dads 87th bithday bash and it was a big hit. I used a bottom heating slow cooker and found cooking time was reduced. I also did not put the meat back in the sauce I cooked it in(it looked greasy). I made fresh. Reheated gently and watched how fast it disappeared. Thank you again Pillsbury for another party pleaser.
