Easy Crockpot Pulled Pork BBQ with Pork Loin
Super easy pork loin pulled pork recipe you can set and forget.
Equipment
- 1 Crock-Pot
Ingredients
- 5 lb pork loin any size works as long as it fits in crockpot
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 bottle of clean BBQ sauce **Stubbs or Trader Joes Kansas City BBQ are my favorites
Instructions
- Add pork loin to crockpot (***I get the large 10lb one from Costco, in that case cut in half and reserve the other half for another day)
- Add 1/2 cup of water to crockpot
- Sprinkle garlic salt and onion salt on top
- Sprinkle sea salt on top
- Cook 6 hours on high or 8 hours on Low (could go longer on low won't hurt it)
- Strain some of the liquid out into a bowl (don't toss it)
- Shred with 2 forks, should pull apart easily
- Add some of the pork broth you strain out back into the shredded pork if it seems dry, but not too much or it will be soggy
- Add your bottle of BBQ sauce and stir through the shredded bbq until it is fully incorporated
- Salt to taste
Notes
- *I like to get the 10 lb-ish pork loin at Costco and split it in half.
- My favorite pro tip is to have two crockpots going with a half in each one, and then there is plenty to freeze.
- I show you how I did this in this YouTube video: https://urlgeni.us/youtube/batchcooking
- My favorite clean BBQ sauce is Stubbs or Trader Joe's Kansas City BBQ Sauce
- Low and slow for this recipe makes for yummy tender meat
- 145° is the recommended internal temperature of finished pork
- Consider making your own no-fuss sourdough bbq buns that is within this blog post: https://girlteachme.com/insanely-easy-healthy-freezer-meals/
