The Easiest Pulled Pork Ever.

I bought a whole pork loin, because it was on sale for $1.49/lb. at Price Rite. It was an 8 pound boneless log of meat, but I knew just what to do with it. I cut it into three chunks, about the same size (a little over 2 1/2 pounds each), threw one into the crockpot, and put the others into gallon size zipper bags and froze them.

This is how I cooked the portion in the crockpot, and will do another tomorrow.

1. Put the entire chunk of pork in the crockpot.

2. Pour a bottle of barbeque sauce (about 20 ounces) on top. Splurge a little on a high-quality sauce. Add sliced onions if you'd like. Chris doesn't like them, so I skip them.

3. Set the crockpot on HIGH. Let cook for about 5 or 6 hours for a 2 1/2 pound chunk of pork.

I did flip the meat a couple times early on, but it's best just to keep the lid on and the heat in.

Last time, I used an orange barbeque sauce, which went well with the brown rice and stir-fry of Asian vegetables I made for side dishes. Tomorrow I think I'll make cornbread and salad.

P.S. A while ago, I posted about making a similar dish with chicken in the slow cooker. In that post, I included a recipe for a great homemade barbeque sauce.
