Only 3 ingredients needed for this easy crock pot pork loin. Make it shredded in the slow cooker with BBQ sauce. Low carb and keto friendly!
This Crock Pot Pork Loin has so much flavor thanks to the easy BBQ Rib rub that I shared a few months ago. You could also use a store bought rub to make this even easier!
The reason I use a homemade rub is because most rubs have sugar, so if you are following a low carb or keto diet, make your own!
I love using my crock pot to make an easy BBQ pulled pork. No need to fire up the grill or the smoker!
I also love using pork loin because it is so affordable!
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT PORK LOIN
The hardest part of this recipe is lugging out your slow cooker. We place the pork loin into the slow cooker and cover it with BBQ rub and rub it in. Then flip it over and cover the other side and rub it in.
Now we just place the lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

The meat will literally fall apart when it is finished. I like to shred the meat right in the crock pot with the juices to keep this crock pot pork loin extra moist.
After it is all shredded, top it with your favorite BBQ sauce.
Then you can serve it however you want! I love to have mine with some crisp coleslaw on top. So good!
Since a lot of pork loins come packaged up to 5 pounds, I like to cook this and freeze half for later. This makes an easy crockpot freezer meal!

How long would you cook it from frozen?? I freeze my meat after I get groceries and put the meat into the crock frozen. 8hrs low? 6hrs high??
jenniferbanz says
It really is not recommended to cook meat from frozen in the slow cooker as there’s the risk of harmful bacteria contaminating the meat before it reaches a safe temperature.
Holly says
What is the recipe for the rub?
Jimmy says
Would you recommend increasing the cook time for an 8 lb pork loin?
jenniferbanz says
I think 8 hours on low should still be plenty of time
Jimmy says
Alright, thank you, I will give it a try and test it!
Del says
Has anybody tried adding a liquid to the recipe? (Ex. Broth, soda, water… etc)
jenniferbanz says
You could but the pork releases a lot of liquid while cooking so it really isn’t necessary
Jennifer says
Do we drain the juice then shredded and add bbq or shred with juices included?
jenniferbanz says
I shred with the juices but you could take it out and shred without the juices, then add some back to keep it moist.
Carol says
This is delish!!!!!!
Perfect rub, so tasty.
Happy to have found this recipe, and the fact it is made in a crock pot even better😀
Cheryl says
Just wow! I used your BBQ rub recipe which I will now make a go to. No need for BBQ sauce, it isn’t soooooo good. Thank you for sharing.
Heather says
I have a one lb pork would you recommend doing this recipe in thirds? What about cooking time?
jenniferbanz says
Yes, I would cut the recipe in thirds. I would check it after 2 hours on high and see if it will shred easily.
Taylor says
Do you have to put any water in the crockpot?
jenniferbanz says
Nope! The pork will release a lot of liquid
David L says
Mixing the rub was most ofvthe work. Too all of 10 minutes. 8 hours on low and the loin fell apart on its own. Flavors blended with bbq sauce perfectly. Just crazy easy and really good.
jenniferbanz says
So glad you liked it!
Noelle says
I love crock pot recipes, this looks amazing!
Taryn says
I love how easy this pulled pork is! Thanks for a great recipe.
Samantha says
Do you add any vinegar or water when cooking it?
jenniferbanz says
It’s not needed. The pork will release a little of liquid as it cooks.
Lynne says
