Slow-cooker Pulled Pork ~ so easy!
OK, if you read my blog you may have caught on that I do not like taking shortcuts in cooking nor do I like to use packaged goods- mixes, boxed things, etc. But I make an exception for this meal- my slow-cooker pulled pork. Why? because I can overlook the preservatives & sugar this one time for the taste that comes from this as well as the ease. Plus, I only use a little of the reduced sauce on my sandwich, the rest is pure pork. Oh so delicious pork at that!!! I am almost embarrassed to blog this. Almost... try it. Between the simplicity & the quickness + the amount it yields, it just may become a staple in your home. It is a once a month treat in mine. And my Mother & Father-in-law love it. Add the fresh rolls my Father-in-law contributed & you have:
Slow-cooker Pulled Pork
1 pork loin, shoulder or butt*, 4lbs or larger
1 Bottle of BBQ sauce, your favorite flavor*
Squeeze a little sauce onto the bottom of the slow-cooker. Place the pork onto the sauce, then top it with the rest of the bottle. Fill empty bbq sauce bottle with water & add it to the slow-cooker. Cook on LOW, 8-10 hours. Shred & serve.
ENJOY.
* Tonight I used a 4 lb. Loin. It yielded 4 heaping sandwiches + extra
* I love Kraft Honey BBQ
It is juicy & delicious. The sauce reduces & caramelizes the outside of the pork. Dollop some on top of your sandwich! Or eat it shredded in tacos, on it's own, etc. It is that good.
You are so right Lish! And I am so glad you blogged this recipe. I do love the ease of it along with taste and amount of food. Love this and will try this soon to be staple in our home. DeLish is the BEST!!!!
