Slow Cooker Pork Roast and Pork Barbecue Recipes

Pork roast is easy to cook in a slow cooker or crock pot. It stays moist and tender, and has a delicious flavor. You don't have to buy the best cuts when you plan to cook pork in a slow cooker or crock pot. You can purchase cheaper cuts and still get a very good result.

One of the best things about cooking pork in a slow cooker is that you can let it cook while you are away from home. The low heat does all the work for you. Here are 2 slow cooker pork recipes for you to try in your own kitchen.

Pork Roast

4-5 pounds pork roast
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Coat inside of slow cooker or crock pot with vegetable oil. Set cooker on LOW setting and allow to warm.

Mix paprika, chili powder, pepper and salt together to make a rub. Rub both sides of roast well with spices. Place roast in preheated cooker and cover.

Cook on LOW setting for approximately 5 to 6 hours, or on HIGH setting for 3 to 4 hours. Roast is done when tender and no longer pink in the center.

Pork Barbecue

3-4 pounds pork roast
2 cups diced tomatoes
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Mix all ingredients together in slow cooker or crock pot. Place roast in cooker, being sure both sides of roast are coated with mixture. Cover.

Cook on LOW setting for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours. When done, roast will be tender and ready to fall apart. Remove from cooker and shred pork before serving.

Tip: The pork barbecue recipe doubles well for taking large amounts of BBQ to social functions.
