Equipment

6-quart crock pot

Ingredients

▢ 1 (3 to 4 pound) pork loin roast
▢ 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
▢ ½ cup chicken broth
▢ 3 tablespoons barbecue seasoning dry rub (any favorite brand will do)
▢ 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
▢ optional: barbecue sauce for serving

Instructions

Dry the pork roast with paper towels. Sprinkle barbecue seasoning all over the roast.
Preheat a large skillet on medium-high with 2 tablespoons of oil until hot and just smoking. Sear the pork roast and brown on all sides about 7 to 10 minutes. Place the roast in the slow cooker.
Remove roast and add onion. Saute onion until translucent. Add the broth and vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping any brown bits off the bottom. Transfer mixture to the crock pot.
Cover and cook the roast on low for 2 to 3 hours - remove as soon as the internal temperature of the roast reaches 140 degrees F. Place the roast on a board and tent with foil for 20 minutes before slicing.

CROCKPOT COOKING TIP: Every slow cooker heats a little differently, so cooking times can vary. Once you know how your crock pot runs (hotter or cooler), you can adjust as needed. For meats and proteins, always use a thermometer to check doneness—the internal temperature is the most accurate way to know when it’s ready.

TIP: For a juicy sliceable pork loin roast - remove it from the crock pot as soon as it's internal temperature reaches 140 degrees. Tent with foil and let rest before slicing.

VARIATIONS: For BBQ pulled pork, let the roast continue cooking until it is falling apart and can be easily shredded with forks. Because pork loin can dry out easily be sure to stir in some pot juices with the pulled pork.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Slice and serve with some of the pot juices and season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
