Recipe: Crock
Pot Pulled Pork
From Cooking with Joey
Pork roast
(shoulder cut works very well)
Any favorite
barbeque sauce
Place pork
roast in a crock pot. Pour about a cup of barbeque sauce over it. Turn on the
crock pot to the low setting and let it slow cook for about 10 hours. You’ll
know it’s ready when the meat easily falls apart. Remove meat from crock pot
and pull it apart using two forks. Discard any fat. Place pulled pork in a
large serving bowl and pour some of the meat drippings over it along with a
little more barbeque sauce. Serve on fresh rolls or over rice.
Tips: Choose
a barbeque sauce that’s sweet and smokey, like a honey or brown sugar variety.
You could even add some brown sugar or honey and a few drops of liquid smoke to
your favorite brand. You can find liquid smoke at your grocery store in the
same aisle as you’d find barbeque sauce. Be sure to only use a few drops. A
little goes a long way!
If you need
to adjust the cooking time, figure one hour on high equals two hours on low.
Basically, you’ll need a total of about 10 hours of cooking time, so you can do
any combination of high and low, as long as you come out to 10 hours in the
end. The crock pot is extremely forgiving, so if you should happen o let it
cook for an extra hour, all will still be right in the world.
My
Interpretation:
Incredibly easy and delicious. Period. All we did was put half the BBQ sauce under the pork and drizzled the other half of the sauce over top. Then we let it cook all day while we were in class and came home to the best dinner imaginable. We put our pork on soft dinner rolls with a side of green beans and macaroni and cheese. SO. GOOD. I would absolutely recommend this to everybody. We used Sweet Baby Ray's (because there's nothing better) Cola-Q flavor sauce. It's a fairly new flavor. Next time we want to try a few different flavors of sauce. (We have a crock pot with three seperate little cookers, so we can make multiple things at once.) We're thinking hickory, honey, and maybe brown sugar flavors. Suggestions? :)
Being a fan of pulled pork, this meal looks incredible. I can't wait to try the mac and cheese because just reading the recipe made me salivate. To me, a meal like that has all the components of an ideal dinner. I've only used the oven when making pulled pork but I think I'm going to try and use the crock pot because it sounds a lot easier and almost impossible to screw up. Thanks for the awesome food ideas and keep up the good work.
