Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 16-ounce bottle barbecue sauce (we used Sweet Baby Rays)
  • 3 pounds boneless pork loin or boneless center cut roast
  • 1 tablespoon smoked or regular paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/8 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 medium onion, sliced thin
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced thin

Directions

  1. Put the water and half of the barbecue sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker. Stir until blended.
  2. Add the pork and sprinkle with the paprika, black pepper, salt, brown sugar, garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the onion and bell pepper on and around the pork. Drizzle with the remaining barbeque sauce.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 8 to 10 hours or until fork tender.
  4. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce. Allow to stand for 10 minutes for flavors to blend.
  5. Serve on buns with coleslaw.
