How long will it take to prepare slow cooker pulled pork?

I’d say about 5 minutes…tops!

As long as it takes to pull your ingredients from the pantry and fridge, and dump them all in the slow cooker.

Why this recipe works:

With the popularity of slow cooker meals still going strong, I have to believe that the reason everyone loves them so much is that (for the most part) they’re super simple, and not at all intimidating for any home cook to master.

Depending on the recipe, some slow cooker meals require a lot of forethought and preparation time in the morning.

Who wants to commit to that on a busy morning when it’s hard enough to get the kids fed and ready for school, and yourself dressed and out the door for work?

Slow cooker pulled pork is a self-proclaimed “dump” recipe that will come to your rescue when time is tight.

The only preparation you’ll encounter is assembling the ingredients from the pantry and fridge, and then adding them one by one to the slow cooker to simmer the day away while you’re off doing other things!

Can the rice and beans be left out of this recipe if needed?

Sure! You can tailor this recipe however you like.

If you like to add additional beans, go for it.

If you’d like to leave them out altogether, it’s your choice.

Want to swap out a different kind of rice? Do it! Just make sure the rice is precooked if you’re adding it at the end of the cooking time (as the recipe specifies).

That said, if you’d like to add an uncooked rice variety that can be done as well. Add an uncooked rice to the cooker when there is an hour left of cooking time, and then stir it well after adding.

Check the liquid amount after about a half-hour after adding the uncooked rice, and if it looks like the cooker needs more water add some as you feel it’s needed and stir again.

How to make slow cooker pulled pork tacos:

• Add 2 chopped onions (any kind), 1 pork tenderloin, 4 smashed cloves garlic, 1½ cups prepared salsa, 1 jar chili sauce, 1 small can fire-roasted jalapenos, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, and lime juice.

• Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours.

• Add 1 can corn (drained), 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed), 2 packages of UB Santa Fe ready rice.
• Cook for 30 more minutes.

• Remove the pork from the cooker and shred with two forks.
• Return the pork to the cooker to heat through.
• Serve with flour tortillas, avocado, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and additional lime, if desired.

Get a load of these big, huge chunks of tender pork. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
