Best 9 Easy Slow Cooker Pork Recipes
Pork is a versatile meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Slow cooking is a great option for pork, as it allows the meat to become tender and flavorful. This article provides three easy slow cooker pork recipes that are sure to please everyone at your table.
The first recipe is for classic slow cooker pulled pork. This dish is made with pork shoulder, which is a less expensive cut of meat that becomes incredibly tender when slow cooked. The pulled pork is seasoned with a simple rub of garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. It is then cooked on low for 8-10 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. Once the pork is cooked, it is shredded and served on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings.
The second recipe is for slow cooker pork carnitas. This Mexican dish is made with pork shoulder that is cooked in a mixture of orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder. The pork is cooked on low for 6-8 hours, or until it is tender and slightly browned. The carnitas are then shredded and served in tacos, burritos, or tortas.
The third recipe is for slow cooker pork and sauerkraut. This German dish is made with pork shoulder that is cooked in a mixture of sauerkraut, caraway seeds, and juniper berries. The pork is cooked on low for 6-8 hours, or until it is tender and the sauerkraut is soft. The pork and sauerkraut is then served with mashed potatoes or spaetzle.
EASY SLOW COOKER APPLE PORK ROAST
My husband doesn't like BBQ sauce, but we had a pork roast. I whipped this up in the slow cooker, and it was awesome served with broccoli and rice, and also as pulled pork sandwiches for the 2 kids and hubby for a few days without them getting tired of it! It got better and better until it was gone, so I figured it was worth sharing. You let me know what you think!

Steps:
- Line your slow cooker with a Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner. Place the pork, soda, garlic, chili powder, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
- When the meat falls apart easily, remove the meat from the slow cooker liner and transfer to a cutting board. Shred it with two forks. Place meat back in the lined slow cooker and add the balsamic dressing and stir with the liquid in the slow cooker. The meat should be saucy and moist.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (or use the broil setting if you have that) transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Spread it in an even, thin layer and cook in the preheated oven until the juices are bubbling and the edges are crispy, 10-15 minutes (5-7 minutes if you have a broil setting).
- Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy on sandwiches, with a baked potato, or however else you want to enjoy it.
