BBQ Pulled Pork

When you need a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, take a stab at this savory dish. Thanks to 4-6 hours of slow cooking, the recipe yields incredibly tender pulled pork soaked in a delectable barbecue sauce. Chili powder and cumin add a spicy and scrumptious kick!

Time: 4-6 hours or until internal temperature of meat reaches at least 165 degrees F. Meat should easily pull apart when done.
Temperature: Low
Yield: 12 servings
Recommended Slow Cooker Size: 4 quarts

Ingredients:
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce, no sugar added
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. onion powder
1/4 c. honey
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 pork loin top loin chops

Directions: In your slow cooker insert, mix together all ingredients except the chops. This will create the barbecue sauce. Please note that this makes a lot of sauce. If you feel it's too much, simply save some of it for another use. But do not reduce by more than half. Place the chops in the sauce and cook as directed.
