Pulled pork crock pot recipe
This is a recipe for people who don’t have a BBQ facility but still want to enjoy a nice pulled pork dish at home. There are lots of barbecue fans who don’t have a backyard where to cook as they’d like. This is a simple way of cooking great barbecue inside the house, provided that you have a slow cooker and a lot of patience to cook the pork butt until it becomes tender and pulls apart.
Ingredients:
- 1 pork shoulder cut, about 4 lbs weight
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed (or garlic powder)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider is the best)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Barbecue sauce (buy it or make it at home – it is not included in this pulled pork recipe)
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time 10-11 hours
Serves: 6-8 people
Cooking procedure:
Mix all ingredients but the barbecue sauce into the crock pot, make sure they are very well blended and that the meat is completely coated with the liquid, then set the slow cooker on low and let it cook for about 10-12 hours. When ready, take the pork butt out of the slow cooker and shred it. The meat would probably get too cold by the time you’re done with pulling it apart, so you may want to reheat it by putting it back into the sauce left in the slow cooker and let it cook on low. After about 30 minutes – 1 hour , take the meat out and make sandwiches with hamburger buns or serve it on a plate with a side dish that can be coleslaw or pickles salad and with barbecue sauce.
