Crockpot Recipes - Easy method for Slow Cooked Pulled Pork

No.1 Article of Low Fat Crock Pot Recipes

Perhaps the pork month puts you in the mood for some barbecue. What sounds more delicious is a super tender textured pork meal with taste of a real smoked barbecue - pulled pork.

Pulled pork is ordinarily a nice pork shoulder or butt that is smoked for hours at a low temperature. This easy method infuses the pork with a pleasant, smoky barbecue flavor and aroma while slow-cooked in a slow cooker or crock pot. Since I typically add just an ample amount of liquid for my sauce so my meat does not swim in a pool of water, my pulled pork ordinarily ends up a wee saucy resulting to an incredibly moist, tasty and tender meat that just falls at the touch of a fork.

Crockpot Recipes - Easy method for Slow Cooked Pulled Pork

6 lbs. Pork shoulder or pork butt, trimmed of any excess fat 1 large onion, sliced finely 1 cup ketchup 1/2 cup tomato paste 2/3 cup of apple cider vinegar, or wine vinegar 1/2 cup of brown sugar 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons mustard 2 teaspoons paprika 3-4 pieces crushed garlic, or 1 teaspoon garlic powder A dash of cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon salt, add more if needed 1 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 3/4 cup water

Directions

Scatter onions on the bottom of your slow cooker, or crock pot then put the pork on top so it sits on the onions. Form your barbecue sauce by whisking all remaining ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add more pepper or salt if necessary. Pour half of the sauce over the pork. Maintain the other half. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours maximum.

After the long cooking, remove pork from slow cooker or crock pot and replacement to a large bowl. Cut the meat into strips, or shred with a fork then put back into slow cooker. Cook added for about 5 minutes, or until meat has soaked up sauce just enough. This easy method for pulled pork can be held on the "warm" setting in the slow cooker, or crock pot for serving. You may serve on soft sandwich rolls, or plain rice topped with extra barbecue sauce, and a side of coleslaw for some crunch.

At one time I forgot to take the meat out of the freezer the night before to defrost, I've been able to cook the same easy method for pulled pork in my pressure cooker, frozen, for about 40 minutes with exquisite results. You may also add a salutary dose of liquid smoke to the sauce for a stronger barbecue flavor.

Have a barbecue-filled pork month!
