Pulled Pork Bbq Recipes

A friend of mine told me about this recipe years ago, it's what I use every time, makes about 8 servings:

CROCK POT 3 INGREDIENT PULLED PORK

1 (2 pound) pork shoulder or butt
1 (12 ounce) can of root beer, Dr. Pepper or Coke
1 (18 ounce) bottle of barbecue sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's)

1) Place the pork in a slow cooker/crock pot and pour the can of soda over the meat. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until pork shreds easily with a fork.
2) After pork has cooked, drain and discard the soda. Shred the pork and place it back in the slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce over the pork and stir to combine. Serve immediately or keep warm in slow cooker until ready to serve. Serve on buns or rolls, we like it on the Hawaiian sweet rolls.

The soda gives it good flavor even before adding the BBQ sauce. This also works well with chicken, but use 7-up, Orange Crush or other citrus flavored soda instead of a dark one.

Mines super easy...

Pork shoulder
Coarse sea salt
Liquid Smoke

Pork shoulder, slice 1 inch deep and 1 inch apart on all sides. (looks super weird). Rub w coarse sea salt. Place in slow cooker, Fill water halfway up. Add liquid smoke. Covert and cook till falling apart/fork shredding.

Freeze. Reheat in tinfoil w/ various sauces on grill.... Or in oven.

I love the 'blank slate' this gives, because it smokey yummy, but can have BBQ, salsa verde, Thai chili, adobo, creamy avocado, pico de gallo, roasted red pepper pesto, harissa, chimichurri, poi... You name it!

Sammies, wraps, tacos, quesadilla, nachos, enchiladsa, egg rolls, humbao, tons.

For BBQ Sammie's, I'd have the meat ready & then 3 or 4 sauces for people to choose from. Some mild honey Kansas city to omg I'm gonna die spicy, raspberry chipotle, etc. and let them sauce their own. And then any leftovers get used for one of the above later in the week without making you bored with it.

Like GrammaRocks says - pork butt, root beer in a crockpot for six hours, add or have available to add a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. The easiest and best pulled pork ever! Pork butt is much cheaper than pork loin and comes out better in the crockpot.

There was a thread on here not too long ago with some good recipes.

For me, the only time I ever use a crock pot is pulled pork. I don't use the quanity you do but basically,

I used a pork shoulder... slathered it with BBQ rub
put a little (1/2 cup maybe) of KC Masterpiece (our favorite) BBQ sauce and little water in bottom of crock pot.
Then put pork in and cooked all afternoon.
When it was done, I pulled it nicely and added some BBQ sauce.

It was great.

We buy the premade Byron's at Sam's Club. It's only about $12.99 for 4#'s (approx 33 servings).

oh my BBQ in crockpot..yummm!!

i usually get a chuck roast and tenderize it then i cook it over night on low so its ready when we get up the next day, i use sweet baby rays BBQ sauce, and just enough water to almost cover the roast and season to taste, then we eat it on buns with pot salad or mac and cheese and rolls, or if im lazy rolls that are big enough to make a sandwich with after its done i pour some BBQ sauce over the meat and mix together., i found if you use Italian dressing and let marinate all night the roast is so tender..OMG I'M HUNGRY!!LOL
