Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 small onion ((halved and sliced))
  • 3 garlic cloves ((peeled))
  • 1 ½ tsp brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp no salt added chili powder
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 pounds pork roast or tenderloin ((trimmed))
  • 1 ½ cups low sodium barbecue sauce

Instructions

  1. Add the water, onion, and garlic to the crock pot.
  2. Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Rub on the pork roast and place the pork in the crock pot on top of the onions and garlic. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low, or until the meat will shred easily.
  3. While the meat is cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce and refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Once the meat is cooked, remove from the crock pot and shred with two forks. Remove the onion and garlic from the crock pot and set aside the cooking liquid (you may want to add some back in later).
  5. Put the shredded pork back into the empty crock pot. Stir in the barbecue sauce. If you need a bit more liquid, you can either add more barbecue sauce or stir in the cooking liquid (no more than ½ a cup at a time) until the meat is well-coated.
  6. Continue to cook on low for about 15-20 minutes, or on warm for up to an hour. Serve on fresh rolls with your favorite sides!
