Servings: 6

Preparation duration: 5 minutes

Cooking duration: 420 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1-2 large tomatoes, diced (I did not de-seed them, but you can if you prefer.)

4 medium garlic cloves, minced

1 small onion, diced

1 medium sized pork loin

1 large jar tomato sauce

Equipment:

cutting board

slow cooker

Cooking instruction summary:

Before chopping, dicing and tossing in the crock, thoroughly wash your veggies. Once you have everything minced and diced, place garlic, onion and tomatoes in the crock pot with a jar of tomato sauce. Carefully place the pork loin in the crock making sure the entire piece of meat is covered with sauce. If needed, add part of another jar or a bit more liquid (water) to the crock.Turn the slow cooker on to low. The low heat and long cooking time will make the pork really tender and will easily break or pull part when done so there is no need to cut into small pieces. Cook on low for 5-7 hours.When ready, pull apart or shred with two forks. We leave it in the crock to do this, but you may take it out and do it on a cutting board if you prefer. Either way be careful not to burn yourself with hot sauce or the edges of the slow cooker. Turn off, remove lid and let cool for about 15 minutes before serving over pasta.

Food Joke

One Sunday morning George burst into the living room and said, "Dad! Mom! I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan. After dinner, George's dad took him aside, "Son, I have to talk with you. Look at your mother, George. She and I have been married 30 years, she's a wonderful wife and mother, but, she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot." "Susan is actually your half sister, and I'm afraid you can't marry her." George was brokenhearted. After eight months he eventually started dating girls again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, "Diane said yes! We're getting married in June." Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. "Diane is your half sister too, George." "I'm awfully sorry about this." George was livid! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news his father had shared. "Dad has done so much harm. I guess I'm never going to get married," he complained. "Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half sister." "Hee hee," his mother chuckled, shaking her head, "Don't pay any attention to what he says. He's not really your father."
