The weather is turning cold...but I still have cravings for Summer favorites.  This is a great slow cooker recipe that doesn't need marinating time and has a prep time of about 10 minutes.  This recipe serves about 6.

Ingredients:
1 bonelss pork loin (about 2-3 pounds)

Spice Rub (recipe follows)

2 cups barbeque sauce of your choice

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 medium onions sliced, 1/2 cup water

Sandwich rolls or burger buns of your choice (I like Kaiser rolls)

Sprice Rub:

2 tablespoons minced parsley (use 1 tablespoon, if using dried parsley flakes)

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon each: salt, ground ginger, nutmet, and pepper

optional: dried chili flakes, if you want a little heat - I usually omit this when cooking for young kids

Rub pork loin with Spice Rub and place in slow cooker; pour in combined remaining ingredients.  Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, turning heat up to high during last 20 to 30 minutes.

Remove pork loin and shred with a fork.  Return the shredded pork back into the barbeque mixture and mix.  Serve in toasted sandwich rolls or burger buns, and with coleslaw.
