    Crock-pot recipes are still the most popular recipes on my blog! Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin in my most popular recipe and Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole is another fave.

    Since y'all love them so much, I've got another one for you today.

    I've been meaning to make pulled pork in a slow-cooker for a really long time, but I have a couple of issues with pulled pork.

    What type of pork to buy for pulled pork

    I'm a little nervous about getting the right cut of meat. I feel like pulled pork can be a little much depending on the cut of meat used.

    Since I am no pro around the meat counter I decided to go with a boneless butterflied pork loin. I asked the butcher at Whole Foods and he said this would work fine for pulled pork.

    Since I wanted to make pork tenderloin that week, so I thought I'd just buy a lot of one type of pork.

    I was so excited when it worked - no need to buy a fattier cut of meat! There were no greasy or fatty pieces in the pulled pork which was nice.

    And now I hate that I am writing this post after the pork is long gone because it's making me want to make it again. But I have way too many new recipes that I'd like to try.

    Anywho, I made cornbread to go with my pulled pork, and boy was it good.

    But you could also serve it with some toasted whole grain buns and slaw. It's great in the winter because it's warm, but pulled pork reminds me of summer {I guess because it's easy and takes hardly any effort, meaning you can enjoy your long summer day without slaving over a hot stove}.

    Either way, you should make this pulled pork now, and then you can make it again in the summer if you feel like it. I made half of the recipe, and it worked well.

    Preparation tips for this recipe:

    1. I used my homemade BBQ Sauce because homemade BBQ sauce beats store bought by a mile. However, don't stress if you don't have time to make it 🙂
    2. Not only is this great served with cornbread; it's great served as sliders. Just cut whole grain hot dog buns into 3 mini buns and serve!

    Ingredients

    • 2 lb boneless pork loin
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt divided
    • 3/4 teaspoon chili powder divided
    • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 cup BBQ sauce
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 large white onion diced
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • 2 tablespoon tomato paste
    • 3 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
    • 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

    Instructions

    • Rub the pork with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon chili powder, cumin, and chipotle chili powder. Brown the pork on all sides in a pan over medium-high heat, about 2 minutes per side.
    • Place the browned pork in a slow cooker, and add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Stir everything together. Cover and cook on Low for 10-12 hours or on High for 6-8 hours.
    • Once the pork is cooked, remove from slow cooker, shred it, and return to sauce. Stir together, and taste. You may want to add more seasoning if desired. Serve on a bun or with cornbread. Enjoy!

      Are your seeking Barbecue Recipes too? I really prefer this blog. So much fantastic stuff. I cherish every type of barbecue, although my absolutely preferred is really Carolina Barbecue. Yet, a really good Texas Brisket creates a few of the greatest barbecue recipes on the planet. I'm a searcher in a quest for the best barbecue!
