Crock Pot Pulled Pork

I've made pulled pork before (here) but it had quite a few ingredients which can be a royal pain in the ass for people who don't have a ridiculous amount of spices like this girl does.  This week I made a super quick pulled pork in tomato sauce and it was great.  I prepared it the night before (took about 10 minutes) and plugged it in on the way out the door in the morning.  Nothing beats coming home to the smell of a home cooked meal and not having to cook it yourself.  Thank you Mr. Crock Pot. I have to say I'm more of a BBQ sauce pulled pork girl, but this tomato based sauce was definitely yummy.
Ingredients
1 pork loin
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground coriander
2 bay leaves
1 large can tomato sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Method
Toss everything into a large crock pot and coat meat with sauce.  Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Remove bay leaves. Transfer meat to cutting board and pull apart using two forks.  Add meat back into sauce and stir to coat.  Serve on fresh buns with lots of sauce (that's what she said).
