How to Make Slow Cooker BBQ Pork with Bourbon Smoked Sugar

I seasoned my pork loin overnight.

I slathered it with regular yellow mustard (or skip this if you prefer more of a dry rub).

And my favorite BBQ seasoning mixed with brown sugar,kosher salt, pepper, and this Bourbon Smoked Sugar.

There was plenty of room in my fridge, so I put it right in the removable container of my slow cooker with the lid overnight.

(one less dish to wash is always a plus)

When you’re ready to cook, remove from the fridge, add about a cup of either beer or chicken broth to the crock pot.

You could serve this as-is with BBQ sauce, or use it to make BBQ Pork Tacos like I did.

Soft tortillas with pork, BBQ sauce, red cabbage, Cotija cheese, and cilantro with lime wedges on the side.
