Why Should I Use Pioneer Smoky BBQ Pulled Pork Seasoning Mix?

Pioneer Smoky BBQ Pulled Pork Seasoning Mix is the newest addition to Pioneer’s Comfort Meal Solutions product line.

I highly recommend using this pre-measured seasoning packet because it will save you so much time compared to making your own seasoning mix.

Instead of buying all of the separate spices needed from the grocery store (which can add up quickly), the Pioneer Smoky BBQ Pulled Pork Seasoning Mix provides perfectly portioned packs of the seasonings you need to create this restaurant-quality Instant Pot Pulled Pork Tacos.

It really takes the guesswork out of cooking – leaving you with a quick, foolproof, and easy meal every time.
