Slow Cooking Thursday – Pulled Pork
March 5, 2009 in pork, slow cooker
This is by far my favorite slow cooker recipe ever. In my pork chop post I talked about my love of all things pork, so obviously I’m going to love pulled pork. Pork + bbq sauce = best thing ever.
This isn’t even a recipe, just a method I guess. You can use whatever size pork loin you want. I usually aim for 3 pounds but you could do less for a family that eats less than we do or more to feed a crowd.
I posted the bun recipe I used here if you’d like to try your hand at those. They’re made in the bread maker so super simple!
Pulled Pork
pork loin
can of soda (rootbeer, Coke, and Cherry Coke all work great!)
bottle of BBQ sauce
Put pork loin in slow cooker and pour soda over top. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove pork loin and dispose of juices, keeping 1 cup. Shred pork, put back in slow cooker, and begin adding BBQ sauce until you reach your desired amount. Add reserved juices if you need to.

Root Beer??? Its like one of my fave things! I might have to give this one a try, us southerners do like our BBQ, don’t we? ; )
Wow root beer? I never would have thought of using it, my family loves root beer even though I don’t, I could always do the coke though :) but I bet this would be amazing :)
This is how I always do pulled pork (and my beef stew has coke in it too). So super good!
love it thanks for that. THis spanish grilled loin recipe looks great too. http://sahmanswers.com/news.php?readmore=1324
Just to add some flavor to it. You can’t really taste the soda but there’s a little sweetness to it that otherwise wouldn’t be there.
Thanks for commenting! :)
