If you have a home fire pit, you should put it to good use. Not only is a fire pit great for cooking and pretending you’re on a camping trip, but it’s a great thing to have for a bonfire party in the fall just before it starts to get too cold to stay outside for long periods of time. And there’s nothing like warm, comforting crockpot recipes to make your guests feel welcome. Here are some ideas:

Crockpot Pulled Pork
The key to making great pulled pork is to get large meaty cuts of pork. It’s not at all a difficult dish to make, especially in a crockpot. So try to find the meatiest cuts you can. If you can get the more tender cuts, that’s great, but it’s not necessary because of the long slow cooking. Before you place it in the crock-pot, cut off the fat and chop it into smaller chunks. Add minced onion and your favorite barbecue sauce, turn on the crock-pot on low and let it cook for several hours (about six to eight).
