Diet Coke Pork Slow Cooker

Easy and DELICIOUS Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches! Fork tender pork cooked right in the crock pot and using only 5 ingredients!

Oh my word. I have never been so excited to share a recipe with you before! (Okay, maybe I have because I'm always excited to share recipes with you… 😉 But this is gooooood stuff. Just take a look at these delicious pictures. Don't they make your mouth water?! Have you ever made pulled pork before? This was my first time! I've made a couple dishes similar to it but never the real deal.

Pork loin was on sale at my grocery store so I decided to pick one up. I started looking around for a tasty recipe to make and ended up merging several different ones to create this gem of a recipe! It is SO yummy! My boys were in heaven. And the best part? It's ridiculously EASY.

Here's what you need:

▢ 1 3-4 pound boneless pork loin
▢ 1 onion sliced in half and then thinly sliced
▢ 1 12-oz can diet soda (or regular works great too!)
▢ 1/2 bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce I LOVE Sweet Baby Ray's!
▢ Lawry's Seasoning Salt
▢ pepper

Spray slow cooker lightly with cooking spray. Put sliced onions on the bottom. Rinse pork loin and pat lightly with paper towels. Coat pork with a layer of Lawry's Seasoning Salt and some pepper. Place on top of onions.
In a medium sized bowl, mix 1/2 bottle of barbecue sauce and a can of diet soda. Pour the fizzy concoction on top of seasoned pork loin in crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on LOW for about 7-8 hours, or until meat is fork tender. When the meat is tender enough, carefully take the pork out of the slow cooker and place on a plate and shred the meat up using two forks. Place meat back inside crock pot, stirring to combine, and let cook for another 30 minutes.
Serve on buns and ENJOY!!
