This is easy but delicious (from eatingwell.com) Slow cooker braised pork with tomatillo salsa 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, or butt [i use loin] 1 1/2 cups prepared tomatillo salsa 1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth [I use 1 cup or less] 1 medium onion, thinly sliced 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, or ground cumin 3 plum tomatoes, (1/2 pound), thinly sliced [I usually use drained diced fire roasted tomatoes from a can] 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream Directions: Trim and discard pork surface fat. Cut meat apart following layers of fat around muscles; trim and discard fat. Cut into 2-inch chunks and rinse with cold water. Place in a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Turn heat to high. Combine salsa, broth, onion and cumin seeds in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour over the meat. Add tomatoes and mix gently. Put the lid on and cook until the meat is pull-apart tender, 6 to 7 hours. With a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a large bowl; cover and keep warm. Pour the sauce and vegetables into a large skillet; skim fat. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil, skimming froth from time to time, for about 20 minutes, to intensify flavors and thicken slightly. Add the pork and 1/4 cup cilantro; heat through. To serve, ladle into bowls and garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Oven method: Total: 3 hours Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine pork, salsa, 1/2 cup chicken broth, onion, cumin seeds and tomatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; cover snugly with foil. Bake until the pork is pull-apart tender, about 2 1/4 hours. Skim fat. Uncover and bake until the meat begins to brown, about 15 minutes more. Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro. Ladle into bowls, garnish with sour cream and remaining cilantro. Note---I usually I don't have time to start and/or finish the sauce on the stovetop, and it still tastes very good.

Pulled Pork/BBQ pork crockpot recipe
Q
Comments (14)
Well, here is what I am doing. I have it in the crockpot now. Everyone's recipes sound good, but I had all of these ingredients on hand. Didn't want to make the trip into town if I didn't have to. I made it simpler by coating the pork with the rub mixture, then placing in the crockpot and adding some of the basting sauce. I made the BBQ sauce, too, and will probably mix some of it with the pork before I freeze it. I'll let you know how it turns out. Barbecued Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Homemade BBQ Sauce Courtesy Emeril Lagasse 1 boneless pork butt, about 4 pounds 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar 2 tablespoons Essence 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon cayenne Wet Mop Basting Sauce, recipe follows Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows Place the pork in a baking dish. In a bowl, combine the sugar, Essence, salt, cumin, paprika, pepper, and cayenne. Rub the seasoning evenly over the pork to coat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat an oven or smoker to 225 degrees F. Bring the pork to room temperature and place in a roasting pan, fat side up. Slow cook in the oven, basting with the Wet Mop Basting Sauce every 45 minutes, until tender and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. (The cooking should take about 6 to 7 hours.) Remove from the oven and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes. With a knife and fork or two forks, pull the meat apart into small slices or chunks. Toss with the Barbecue Sauce, to taste, and divide among the hamburger buns. Top with coleslaw. Serve with additional Barbecue Sauce on the side. Wet Mop Basting Sauce: 1 cup white vinegar 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper 1 tablespoon salt The night before you cook the pork, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and whisk well. Refrigerate and let the flavors blend overnight. Yield: 2 1/4 cups Barbecue Sauce: 1 cup apple cider vinegar 1 cup ketchup 3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon yellow mustard 1 tablespoon molasses 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and whisk well to dissolve the sugar. Place in a squeeze bottle and dress the pulled pork sandwiches to taste. Yield: about 2 cups Linda

I served this Christmas morning for munching.
I have a mini crockpot.

CrockPot Cream Cheese Sausage and Rotel Dip

- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 can tomatoes and green chies (aka Rotel), drained
- 1 lb breakfast sausage, browned and drained *I used Jimmy Dean premium

Brown the sausage on the stove, and drain on paper towels. Unwrap the cream cheese, and put it into your crockpot. Chop up the sausage and add on top. Drain the Rotel and add it. Cover and cook on low for about 90 minutes, or on high for 45 minutes. Stir well and eat with tortilla chips. **Used blue chips from World Market

turn off the heat after a while cause it scorches on the side of the pot, like an hour.

We love this pork recipe. Plan ahead because it marinates overnite. Pop it in the slow-cooker in the morning.....no browning of the meat required.

Slow-Cooker Sesame Pork Roast

4 lb pork roast
2 cups water
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Cut meat in half if large. Reserve half the marinade, and marinate the meat overnite in the other half.

Cook on Low 7-8 hours in reserved marinade.

Another thing I love doing is my spareribs. I set the ribs up on their end around the slow-cooker so that the fat drains.
Cook on low 6 hours. Remove and brush with barbecue sauce and broil to cook the sauce and crisp the ribs a bit. Delicious!

I have shared this one many times and everyone always loves it so do we.
Crockpot Pork Chops

4-6 boneless center cut pork chops
salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion
1 small can mushroom pieces or chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup diced celery (optional)
1 can cream of onion soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2Tbs worchestershire sauce
Tonys Cajun seasoning to taste
Cut onion into slices and place on bottom of crock pot. Salt and pepper and season chops, to taste. Layer chops over onion slices. Drain mushrooms; dump on top of chops. Add celery, if desired. Mix two soups and worchestershire sauce in a bowl, then spread over layers in crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Serve over rice.

This can be done on top of the stove also but I lightly flour chops and brown them in a little oil along with some chopped onions and the celery if using it. Then add the rest of the ingredients and cook till chops are done. I use fresh mushroom when I have them.

I also do pulled pork bbq for sandwiches it is so easy.
I buy what ever nice pork is available I have used pork steaks, boneless chops, pork roasts etc, I prefer using one of the pork roasts. I slice up a big onion and put in the bottom of the crock pot, put the pork meat on top and pour about an entire bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's hickory and brown sugar (or any of the sweet baby ray's is good) on top (that is the smaller size bottle not the great big one) so that the meat is well covered with the sauce.
I might add just a little water not much maybe 1/3 cup.
Cover and cook on high for 5 or so hours, I stir it every once in a while to make sure it is not sticking. When the meat can be easily shredded in the pot with 2 forks it is done, shred up the meat and serve on buns.

this is my own stew recipe it is the only way I make stew now.

Rosegirl, if you want tried and true, please revisit the site JoAnn posted. Just about every one of those recipes has been tried--I know the ones I posted have been. And I've tried others that people have posted and haven't had a bad one yet. #41 on the list (Spanish rice) is one of our kid's favorite. And they are very picky.

Hope you enjoy your crockpot as much as I do mine.

I second Patti's statement. My sesame pork recipe is there, as is the Hoisin Chicken. One of the KTer's made my sesame pork and loves it. The lasagna recipe has been tried, and Patti's Spanish rice is a hit with my hubby.

So definitely noodle around there, and try some out.
