Pulled pork

Hey! I also put my cole slaw on the bun! Great minds think alike....

I simply put the pork loin in the slow cooker, add salt and pepper and sliced onions (how many depends on my mood). I add about 1/2 cup water. Cook until it pulls apart. I then put the loin on the cutting board (sometimes it pulls apart before i can get it there) and "pull apart". :) Then I put it all back in the now empty slow cooker, add a LOT of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, heat till that's warm and VOILA...you have pulled pork. Best way to EAT it is on Hawaiian buns with a topping of cold slaw ON the BBQ pork -- not as a side dish. :) :)

Thank you but, our local grocery store is 60 miles away.:):)

Thank you SuperDave. I will try this one for sure.

We use a rub from Robert Irvine on the Food Network. Put the rub on the meat, marinade it for at least a few hours. Overnight is better. We typically are using a pound of pork roast, but the rub can be varied as needed. Put it in the slow cooker with a cup and half of water on low for 8 hours. Break it apart and add your favorite BBQ sauce and cook for 1-2 more hours. Very simple and VERY good. You can vary the heat factor by what type of BBQ sauce you use.

You can experiment with different rub combinations. We've found throwing your own together is far better than buying a premixed one.
