Carnitas Biscuits Pepper Bee’d

More Pepper Bee test I decided to use up a can of biscuits waiting for me to use. The meat is carnitas or typically called pulled pork when you live north of the dirty south. We baked these, but you could use a slow cooker or even stovetop on low. Carnitas has minimal ingredients, in fact, it’s salt and water. I did use black pepper, but typically it’s not required.

You could use any sauce you think would go good if you’re not looking at a bottle of Pepper Bee. I have used regular ole pancake syrup and it works. Little to much morning sugar but you know..
