Pork chops are great on the grill, but as the weather starts getting cooler I really enjoy a pulled pork sandwich. Pulled pork is also extremely delicious to eat at the dining room table with the family or while watching your favorite football team. It's pretty safe to say that pulled pork is one of my favorite homemade comfort foods
Ingredients
-
1 pork loin roast (2 1/2 to 3 lb)
-
2 Tablespoons Applewood Chipotle Rub
-
1 cup water
Directions
Rinse the pork loin and pat dry with a paper towel.
Liberally rub the meat with the Applewood Chipotle Rub
Tightly wrap the meat in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least an hour or as long as overnight.
Heat a dutch oven, large pot or cast iron skillet to medium high heat and sear meat on all sides, just until browned.
Add the 1 cup of water to the slow cooker and transfer the seared meat to the slow cooker.
Cover, set slow cooker to high and cook for 5-6 hours.
Carefully remove meat from slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board. Let meat rest about 5-10 minutes
Shred meat with 2 forks and transfer back to the slow cooker to combine with the liquid remaining from cooking.
Serve hot.
Recipe Note
This pulled pork is great by itself or serve with your favorite BBQ Sauce!!
