There is something about eating barbecue during the hot summer months along with sides like potato salad, cole slaw, crispy pickles...When I found out that making pulled pork at home was so easy and so much cheaper than ordering it from a barbecue restaurant, I started making it when it was 20 degrees outside in the middle of winter or whenever I felt like it. Then I found a crock pot recipe that was fool proof. I look in the grocery store for boneless pork butt or picnic roasts on sale even pork loins work... I buy more than one and freeze them until the urge strikes to have saucy, sweet, sour, smokey and spicy pulled pork sandwiches. It's great, you throw it all together in the bottom of a crock pot set it for 8 hrs on low and forget about it. It will make your house smell awesome too. I usually serve mine on big fluffy hamburger buns with a good creamy potato salad, cole slaw or a green salad...
Crock Pot Barbecue Pulled Pork
3 pound boneless pork roast
1 tsp garlic salt
1 large yellow onion chopped
1 celery stalk chopped
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp cider vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp liquid smoke - any flavor
1 tbsp tobasco sauce
Rub the roast with the garlic salt and place in bottom of a crock pot (at least a 4 quart)
Top with the onion and celery
Mix the brown sugar, the ketchup, the lemon juice, the worcestershire sauce, the cider vinegar, the liquid smoke and the tobasco sauce, pour mixture over meat
Cover and cook on low for 8 hrs
Remove meat from crock pot and place onto a cutting board
Using two forks shred pork to desired consistency and mix back into sauce in bottom of pot
Serve on big hamburger buns
I have used skinless, boneless chicken thighs or beef chuck roast with delicious results too
Happy seconds, thirds & forths!
