Crock Pot Spicy Pulled Pork – Featuring Dr. Pepper

• 4 pounds Pork Tenderloin (or Shoulder/Butt cut of pork)
• 1 whole large white onion, sliced or chopped (approximately 1 cup)
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1-½ teaspoon dry ground mustard
• 2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper, or more, to taste
• ¼ cups apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 24 ounces, Dr. Pepper (2 cans)

Turn on crock pot to Low. Layer ½ the onions on the bottom of the pot. Place pork into crock pot, fat side up, then add remaining onions on top. Mix dry spices together and sprinkle over the pork. Pour Worcestershire and Dr. Pepper into the crock pot. Place lid on crock pot. Try not to open too frequently although you can turn the pork during the cooking process if you want.



Let cook 6- hours. Pork is done when it can be shredded with a fork. Drain any excess liquid. Coat the pork, to taste, with your favorite BBQ sauce, such as Kraft or Sweet Baby Ray’s. Let sauce and pork combine.


You have multiple ways to serve this – between two slices of Texas Toast, like a southern pork taco on a lightly grilled corn tortilla, or on a standard sandwich bun. Great way to make pork stretch for a large family.

Recipe for Week #1 - Crock Pot


Crock Pot Lickin Good Pork Chops

The best choice for this recipe is to buy a whole pork loin on sale. Lay it out on a cutting board and slice into six or eight pork chops about 1 inch thick. Any pork chop will do nicely, however, so just get the best deal you can.

For every 2 pounds of pork chops, do the following:

Mix in crock pot:

1 can cream of soup - I prefer cream of mushroom, but if you do not like mushrooms, cream of celery or cream of chicken work fine.

1 packet Ranch Dressing Mix
1/4 medium yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed and minced
1/4 cup carrot minced fine
grind of crushed red pepper flake - to taste
grind of pepper - to taste
1/2 teaspoon mustard or to taste

If you don't have onion, carrot, or garlic you may omit the carrot and substitute onion flake or powder and garlic powder for the onion and garlic. Mix all ingredients for the sauce and then add in your pork. Stir to coat pork and turn crock pot on high for 4 hours. If you are leaving your crock pot to work it's magic while you are at work all day, you may cook on low. You can top with washed new potatoes and serve with a salad for a one-pot meal.

For a taste treat, boil potatoes as usual for mashed potatoes adding in garlic cloves. I normally boil one potato for each person plus one for the pot meaning five potatoes. For this recipe, I add in one garlic clove for each person so four garlic cloves. When potatoes are ready to mash, take out a cup of the hot potato water and set aside. Use a colander to strain out the potatoes and garlic cloves. Mash the potatoes and garlic cloves together. Add in 1/2 cup potato water, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 stick of salted butter. If potatoes seem too dry, add in the rest of the potato water. Add salt and pepper to taste - I usually add a good crack of pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve topped with a pat of butter and a sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper.

Both the pork chop and gravy recipe and the garlicky potatoes recipe will double and triple easily, just as long as your crock pot is able to handle the extra pork chops.

I'm curious how this voting will work - technically you want to win so do we not vote for ourselves? I'm already having a tough time thinking which one I want to vote for - they all sound wonderful!
