Directions

Steps

1 Done	Make the Cajun Rub for the Pork (optional) You can obviously buy pre-made Cajun spice seasoning, but making Cajun seasoning from scratch is super easy and so much better. Get the recipe here: Homemade Cajun Seasoning Rub Spice Mix Recipe.
2 Done	Marinate the Pork Overnight Pat the Pork dry, then cover with the rub. Place in an air tight container or a ziplock bag in the refrigerator overnight.
3 Done	Sear the Pork Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium high. Add the pork and brown on both sides, approx. 3 on each side. Remove from the heat and transfer to the slow cooker. Turn the slow cooker on low.
4 Done	Make the Cajun BBQ Sauce Combine the remaining ingredients in a pot over medium heat and stir well. Remove from heat after 2 minutes and pour directly over the pork.
5 Done	Let the Pork simmer in the slow cooker for 8 hours.
6 Done	Serve with Rolls, and maybe you'd like to try out my carrot apple slaw on top! For the easy homemade buns: Homemade Bun Recipe/a>. For the carrot apple coleslaw topping: Tart and Crunchy Carrot Apple Slaw with an Extra Bit of Spice Recipe/a>.
