Crock Pot Heaven!

Oh my gosh.  My good friend Teresa told me awhile back about an easy way to make pulled pork, and I finally decided to try it yesterday.  I have to say it's the best pulled pork I've ever eaten, and this will definitely be a staple in my house from now on.  It's so delicious, and so easy that it's almost unbelievable.

Simply take a pork loin or two, cut off all the fat you can (especially the silver), and toss it in the crock pot.  Add a bottle or two of your favourite barbecue sauce, cook on low for about eight hours, then take the meat out, pull apart (I like to chop it into smaller pieces first), put in a serving or storage bowl, add as much of the sauce as you want/need, mix well, and serve.

I used Kraft's Hickory barbecue sauce, and added some Dole Pina Colada juice (a mix of pineapple and coconut juices - yum!).  I could have gotten away with one bottle of barbecue sauce, but since I have a huge crock pot, I had to have a certain level of food and liquid.  I am definitely going to be buying a smaller crock pot, though.  However, it's not a big deal - I just saved some of the sauce to freeze for use in the next batch. :)

You can sear the pork loins first if you want, but it's not necessary, and frankly I find it better not to - more of the sauce soaks into the meat as it cooks when it's not seared.  I'm thinking that next time I will cut the loins into smaller pieces before cooking, so that more sauce is absorbed into more of the meat.

At any rate, I highly recommend this method.  It truly is fabulously easy - not to mention fabulously declicious - and I suspect it will become a family favourite from the first bite.
