Pulled Pork Sandwiches in Under an Hour!

I love a good ol' pulled pork sandwich... and in the past, I've always made it in the slow cooker, meaning hours of waiting around and remembering to prep ahead of time (with my baby brain... not so great lately), so I decided to try cooking the pulled pork in the instant pot... and the results -- excellent!!
