Shredded Pork in a Mushroom Sauce; A Slow Cooker Recipe!
Use left-overs to make pulled pork sandwiches, soft tacos, burritos or served over a bed of rice. You can literally throw this together in 30 minutes then go live your life for 5 hours and come back to the best shredded pork you've ever tried. I've also learned that placing your slow cooker in the garage is a good idea if you don't want your house to smell like food. Just thought I'd pass that along :)

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Line the bottom of your slow cooker with the baby carrots
2
Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over very high heat, then swirl in 4 Tbsp cooking oil. Add pork loins and sear all the large sides of your pork loin (⏱️ 2-3 min per side). The pork should be a deep golden brown when it's done. It splatters so be careful! Transfer pork loins to your slow cooker.
3
Saute your sliced mushrooms in the same skillet over medium high heat until lightly browned and soft (⏱️ 7 min), set aside.
4
Saute your onion over medium heat until golden (⏱️ 5-7 min), then stir in pressed garlic and let saute stirring constantly until fragrant (about ⏱️ 1 min), set aside.

Pour the mushroom gravy over the meat, cover with lid and set on high heat for ⏱️ 5 hours, then keep on low until ready to serve (You can also set on high for ⏱️ 4 hours and on low for 2 more hours).
8
Just before serving, shred the pork inside the slow cooker using forks. You know it's done when it pulls apart easily. Once the meat is shredded, it absorbs much of the liquid and will be so juicy and delicious!
