Slow Cooked Pork Barbecue

Add caption

I tried this recipe last night for dinner.  Of course it would have been better if I had read the instructions fully as I thought it only took four hours to cook.  It actually takes about 5 or 6 hours.  The nice thing about crockpot is it just cooks and doesn't take too much work.  I did get a blister from pulling it apart with a fork but it was worth the effort.  I would subsitute the bread for rice..the buns really take away the flavor of the meat, plus I think it is healthier with rice and veggies then on a bun.  So here is my take on the Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet Cookbook Slow Cooked Pork Barbecue.



1 boneless pork loin roast (3 to 4 lbs)
1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp garlic powder (instead of this I used grill mates steak rub)
1 C bbq sauce
1 C cola
10 sandwich buns (or rice and mixed veggies)

Cut roast in half; place in a 5 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with the steak rub all over and blend it in.  Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until meat is tender.
Remove meat; skim fat from cooking juices.  Shred meat with a fork and return to the slow cooker.  Combine the bbq sauce and cola; pour over meat.  Cover and cook on high for 1-2 hours or until sauce is thickened.  Serve either on buns or with rice.
(Yield 10 servings)
