Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin trimmed
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1 onion sliced thin
- 3 cloves garlic rough chopped
- 1/4 cup chicken or beef stock
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Instructions
- Trim the pork loin to remove any excess fat. Salt and pepper the pork loin, and rub it in just a touch. Place the pork loin in the crock pot.2 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin, salt and pepper
- Slice your onion thinly, cutting it in half through the root end and peeling it before you start slicing to make it easier. Chop your garlic just a bit. This isn't one of the times you need to get it finely minced. Place the garlic and onions atop and around your pork. Add the vinegar and chicken or beef stock and cover.2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 1 onion, 3 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup chicken or beef stock
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the pork is already starting to separate. Drain about half the juice and use for another purpose or discard. Use forks to pull the pork apart, and it should just fall apart as you pull the forks through the meat.
- Remove any meat that children or picky eaters won't eat with barbecue sauce. Add the barbecue sauce, stir, and then cook on high for one more hour so the flavors truly meld together. Serve immediately on a bun, by itself, pick from the crock pot, or save it for the next day, as flavors only get better on day 2.1 cup barbecue sauce
Notes
- I use homemade barbecue sauce because I know exactly what's in it. I can make it taste how I want it to taste, and it's super quick and easy. I almost always have a stash in my fridge. Try making some yourself, or go ahead and use your favorite bottled variety.
