Servings: 12
Calories: 167kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs trimmed pork loin (if your loin has a lot of fat on it, make sure you buy one that is about 3 1/2 pounds, as you'll trim quite a bit of fat off)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 recipe Naturally-Sweetened BBQ Sauce, divided (about 2 cups)

Instructions

  • Spray the pot of your slow cooker/Instant Pot with nonstick spray. Spread onion and garlic in a layer on the bottom of slow cooker or Instant Pot. 
  • Place pork on top of garlic and onions, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour 1/2 of the BBQ sauce on top of pork (about 1 cup).
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours in your slow cooker, or 45 minutes at high pressure in your Instant Pot (use natural pressure release for about 10 minutes).
  • Shred pork with forks, then recover and cook for another 30 minutes in your slow cooker. If using an Instant Pot, cook on Saute for 5-10 minutes, until juices absorb a bit. 
  • Serve with extra BBQ sauce on top.
