Hawaiian BBQ Pork (Slow Cooker Recipe)
10 Jan
I finally have a new recipe to share this evening; I feel like it has been an eternity.
I’ve been relying (heavily) on my slow cooker lately. By the time I get home from work and the gym, I definitely don’t feel like putting a lot of effort into making dinner. I’m thinking some of you may be in the same boat?
This meal required little prep work the night before (all I had to do was chop an onion), came together quickly in the morning (or at least I think so since Chris actually put all the ingredients in!), and was super tasty (and husband-approved).
My recipe was inspired by this recipe from Kraft.
Hawaiian BBQ Pork
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lb. pork loin
- 1 can (14.5 oz.) low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 small yellow onion, chopped
- 1 can (14.5 oz.) pineapple chunks, drained
- 3/4 c. BBQ sauce
- Salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste
Directions:
- Place pork, chicken broth, onion, and BBQ sauce in the slow cooker (also add the salt/pepper/garlic salt at this point). Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Remove pork and shred with two forks. Return shredded pork to slow cooker, and add pineapple. Continue to cook on low for 15-20 minutes. Serve with brown rice.
Of course I added a little extra BBQ sauce on top… no such thing as too much of that stuff.
So simple, right?!
I’m a huge fan of the BBQ/pineapple flavor combo, and I have a feeling this recipe might become a staple in our house.
How often do you use your slow cooker? I used mine twice this week! Once for this recipe and the other time was to try out Katie’s balsamic chicken (also good!).
That looks right up my kitchen. We love pineapple and BBQ sauce in my house! I am so glad you liked the balsamic chicken – I made it last weekend too! Also, check out peanutbutterfingers.com – she posted about crockpot meals today and the comments section is full of good crockpot ideas!

I finally busted out the crock pot today since the move… just simple BBQ chicken… but super excited for it
I should totally try pork though!

I love doing pulled pork/chicken in the crockpot… so simple!
i love fruits and meats together but Eric hates it! I still try to sneak it in sometimes though!
Yum! I’ve made pulled pork in the crock pot before…but not with pineapple!

Loving your blog!
I’ve been obsessed with my crockpot lately, too! Thanks for stopping by!
I love pineapple with ham/pork. I need to use my slow cooker soon. It’s been weeks!

My slow cooker is probably my favorite small appliance! I got mine as a bridal shower gift, but I know Bed Bath and Beyond and Target have some great, cheap options. Bed Bath and Beyond is nice because they are almost always sending coupons out, so you can get it at an even lower price! Mine is Hamilton Beach brand and it’s been working great for the last year and a half.
I sure do wish Joshua enjoyed fruit & meat together. I guess I could make it though & enjoy all the leftovers to myself

Ah, yeah he would need to like that flavor combo. My husband LOVES fruit so I knew he’d be game to try this.
Looks yummy! And I use my crockpot more than I DON’T use my crockpot
