I made this on 8/17/08 for the "August Crockpot Cooking Challenge 2008" in the Cooking Photo forum. And this was also made as part of my SO's B-Day dinner.The pork loin that I used was only a 1.5lb,but that was o.k..So, for the pork loin itself,the amounts of the seasonings stayed the same.And I changed up the cooking time a bit,the first hour was cooked on high, 2 hours on low and the last hour on high. As for the sauce, I cut the ketchup down to 3/4 of a cup and kept the rest of the sauce of the ingredients the same.And for us it worked out just great.Thanks for a very good recipe that will be made again.Thanks for posting and, "Keep Smiling :)"

My family realy enjoyed this recipe. It was easy to prepare with items you find in your pantry and it takes little time to put together. I removed the pork from my crock pot and sliced into bite size pieces. While the pork cooled a little, I emptied the juices from the crock pot and put back the cut pork. I then stirred in the barbecue sauce and cooked on LOW for 2 hours. Instead of serving it on rolls, I served the meat in a wrap with lettuce, tomato and cheese. Outstanding!

<p>I live in TN with a husband, 9 year old, 6 year old, and our two dogs. I'm a busy mom who loves to cook for family and friends. We have two boys, and they are the light of my life! My husband is a restaurant manager. We actually met while working together at Bob Evans in another city. He was one cute grill cook!! Now he is one cute manager, and I am so proud of him! He currently works for El Chico, and he is very happy there. <br />I am a stay at home mom who sometimes does temp work, which is a big change from corporate America. We'll see how that goes. Now that I have some more time, I plan to get back to the kind of cooking I used to do. You know...with pots and pans instead of a take out menu. I love to crochet, garden and hike with the family. Thanks in advance for any reviews you do of my recipes. :)</p>
