Crockpot BBQ Pulled Pork
I really enjoyed this recipe. It took me a while to find a pulled pork recipe that I felt comfortable making. I didn't want one where you just dump a gallon of BBQ sauce on it and call it good. I wanted more flavor then that. And I definitely didn't want one that involved soda , they may taste good but not healthy that's for sure. So eventually I came across this one. Yes it includes BBQ sauce, but only a limited amount, and you are more then welcome to add more, my family just doesn't like it swimming in BBQ sauce. I accompanied this recipe with homemade hamburger buns and homemade coleslaw. It truly put it over the top! I will be posting the Hamburger bun recipe as well! Link to Homemade Bun Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons table salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 (2-3) pork tenderloin
- 1-2 cups barbecue sauce (use as much as you like)
Directions:
1)Mix all spice rub ingredients in small bowl.
2)Cut each tenderloin (2) into three pieces so it fits easily into your
crock pot. Place tenderloins in a 9x13 Pyrex dish. Massage spice rub
into meat. Cover tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3
hours.
3)Unwrap and place pork in slow cooker liner. Add ¼ cup water. Turn slow
cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours, until meat is fork-tender.
4)Transfer meat to cutting board. “Pull” by tearing meat into thin shreds with two forks or your fingers ( be careful it can be really hot)
5)Place shredded meat back in slow cooker liner. Stir in 1 cup barbecue
sauce. Add more if desired. Heat on low for 30-60 minutes, until hot.
Makes about 8 pulled pork sandwiches.
