Follow The Directions

01

Step

Nestle the pork loin into the embrace of your slow cooker. Pour in enough water to gently cover the bottom of the cooker, creating a humid environment for optimal tenderness. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Set the slow cooker to Low and let it work its magic for a patient 7 hours. The low and slow cooking process will break down the pork, rendering it incredibly tender and succulent. (Cook time: 7 hours)

03

Step

Once the pork is cooked, carefully transfer it to a large bowl. Using two forks, shred the pork into delectable strands. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

04

Step

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, now infused with the rich flavors of your chosen barbecue sauce. Stir well to ensure every strand is coated in saucy goodness. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

05

Step

Continue to cook on Low for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen, creating a harmonious symphony of smoky, sweet, and savory notes. (Cook time: 45-60 minutes)

06

Step

Spoon a generous heap of the pulled pork onto each toasted bun, creating a mountain of deliciousness. Serve immediately and prepare for rave reviews!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider searing the pork loin in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and add depth to the final dish.
Experiment with different barbecue sauces to find your perfect flavor profile. From tangy and vinegary to sweet and smoky, the possibilities are endless!
Leftover pulled pork can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently and enjoy in sandwiches, tacos, or salads.
