Tutorial Tuesday: Pulled Pork

How is it that I just discovered how DELICIOUS pulled pork is? Now I scope out the pork section while grocery shopping!

Ingredients: pork, BBQ sauce and water.

Begin by placing your pork in your crock pot. I had to slice mine in half, which isn't fun, but is totally worth it!!!

Drizzle the entire bottle of BBQ sauce and add half a cup of water to the crock pot! Cook on low for 6-8 hours, your house will smell amazing!

After the 6-8 hours, remove your pork from the crock pot, remove the gobbly-gook (that's technical jargon for fat marbling on your meat), and shred. Go ahead and taste test a little bite... heck, take a little taste test in my honor as well!

Lastly, either add a little bit of the liquid left in your crock pot to the shredded meat, or add more fresh BBQ sauce- and enjoy!

My husband likes to eat his pulled pork sandwiches with a little cole slaw on top, but I'm more of a plain Jane.

Any pulled pork fans out there?

I don't know why it took me so long to discover pulled pork, but we love it.
Whenever I make some kind of shredded meat in the crockpot, I find it's not as dry tasting if I shred it and then put it back in the pot for another 30 minutes or so.

Sounds so good! Did you buy it this week sales or last weeks? Looks like a good price.

We LOVE pulled pork in our house but I've found that a Boston Butt (which is on sale at Kroger this week !) is a much better cut for pulled pork and usually cheaper. It makes a very moist pulled pork. I make mine in the crock pot as well but I cook it in beef stock, onion, garlic, 1 tbl liquid smoke, and 1/4 cup of coffee. I also liberally coat it in salt, pepper, and cajun or creole seasoning before plopping it in the crock pot. After I shred the meat I add a little bit of the cooking liquid and then stir in my BBQ sauce. So yummy! We usually eat ours with sweet and sour coleslaw...but on the side.

I have to admit though that your way sounds easier

Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing.

Love pulled pork - we also like to add in some liquid smoke. I do this in the crockpot too sometimes. Another yummy recipe in the crockpot is pork & 1 envelope onion soup mix. Cook on low for 8 hours+. That's it. No water, nothing else. It makes its own juice. The only thing is that the onion soup mix is high in sodium.

Oh I love pulled pork as well. My dad mixes sweet baby rays and open pit together (about 1/2 cup of each) to make a yummy sauce. I found a recipe for homemade BBQ sauce that is the best. So I usually do that with my pork shoulder in the crock pot. Here's the recipe if you ever want to try it!
1 C. Ketchup, 2 T. worcestershire sauce, 1/4 C. Vinegar (white), 1 t. each of chili powder and salt, 1 C. water, 1/2 t. celery salt, 1/4 t. pepper, and 1/2 C. of brown sugar. Mix it all together with some liquid smoke and oh man, the best bbq sauce ever.
