Recipe: Slow Cooker BBQ Pork Loin

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Large Boneless Pork Roast (or Pork Loin)
• 1 package of Au jus (dry seasoning mix)
• 1 Cup of your favorite BBQ Sauce
• Additional BBQ Sauce after it’s done cooking
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Garlic powder, onion powder to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Trim away  as much fat from the Pork Loin or Boneless Roast as you can possibly remove.

Brown well on both sides on top of your stove. (This is for color and to get the juices flowing from the roast)

Season well with Salt, Pepper, onion powder, and Garlic

Once the pork loin is browned well, place it in your slow Cooker.  Add water to the pot,  but leave 2 inches of the roast uncovered. (It was like 2 cups for me, depends on the size of your roast)

Add the package of Au jus to the water.  With a fork, mix the contents in well.

Now take 1 cup of your favorite BBQ Sauce, and mix that into the water/au jus mixture.

Cover with the lid, and allow to cook until it’s fork tender.

Cook Medium/Low heat for 6-8 hours.  (Every Slow Cooker is different but when it starts falling apart and is tender you’ll know its ready)

I also cut mine apart the last hour to really soak in the juices, but you don’t have to.

Save the juice for any leftovers to store in the refrigerator and heat it back up in.

First I browned it on the stove for a few minutes:

Browned and now seasoned in the crock pot

Topped with bbq sauce for cooking
