All you need are two ingredients to have this Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork for dinner tonight. Serve it with barbecue sauce and buns or use it on tacos or nachos.
Growing up I wasn't a big meat eater. Give me a big plate of veggies and I was a happy camper. My parents always had me eat at least three bites of meat before I could be excused from the dinner table.
One of my younger sisters was the complete opposite. She would finish her meat and then sit there staring at the veggies left on her plate. I don't know why we didn't do a covert trade when our parents weren't watching.
Over the years though, I have started to enjoy more meats. Well, I don't know if eating burgers and chicken counts as more meat. I'm still not a big fan of red meat. The texture and taste just aren't for me. In the past few years, I have come to love pulled pork too. I probably like it because pork is considered the other white meat.
There are a few restaurants in town that I always order the pork tacos or burritos from. It's become one of my go to choices along with jerk shrimp tacos.
I have to admit that I had no idea how stinking easy it was to make your own pulled pork. You are only two ingredients and eight hours away from having your own slow cooker full of pork amazingness!!!
If you cook pork chops on the grill or in the oven, be sure to follow the proper pork cooking temperature. Or you can keep it easy and let the slow cooker do it for you.
Ingredients Needed
You read that right. Dinner tonight is just two ingredients. You just need a pork tenderloin and some bourbon brown sugar seasoning! Ok, so if you want it to be dinner you have to add a few more things like buns and barbecue sauce.
We have been buying a three pound tenderloin and rubbing it with McCormick's brown sugar bourbon seasoning because it gives it a delicious and totally easy flavor. Then get ready to devour the meat in about 8 hours!
Honestly, the McCormick's slow cooker pulled pork is so tender and delicious on its own. My daughter and I like to eat it plain, but it is also absolutely delicious in pulled pork tacos or smothered in your favorite kind of sauce.
I want to make another jar of this sriracha and barbecue sauce because the sweet and spicy flavor would go so well with the seasoning on this easy slow cooker pulled pork.

I thought it was unusual that this recipe didn’t require and liquid and should have followed my instincts. The pork came out dry. If i make this again, I’ll add broth.

I'm sorry to hear that. When you use seasonings on a pork tenderloin, you do not need to add extra liquid. I have made this multiple times and never added extra liquid. As the meat cooks, it releases liquid and keeps the meat moist.

Need to add some liquid and or leave the fat on. This would be dry. A friend confirmed and it was extremely dry cooking as currently written. Add moisture or your pork will be dry.

I make this all the time and never add extra liquids. When you use seasonings on a pork tenderloin, you do not need to add extra liquid because as the meat cooks, it releases liquid and keeps the meat moist.

Pulled pork is a regular thing around here...it's so easy and versatile. I'll have to keep my eye out for that seasoning blend!

This seasoning is so good on grilled salmon! I’ll have to try it on pulled pork.
