Slow Cooker Pulled pork
Posted on March 10th, 2013 1 commentThe local micomart had pork shoulders on sale today, at a very good price, so now I’m looking at this and trying to sort out how to cook and not spend hours dealing with it.
But taking a trick from my father, I have a the shoulder, some onions, some bbq sauce left from the last smoke job, and some liquid smoke. Take all of this and plop into a slow cooker and simmer until the meat breaks down and the sauce thickens to a rich, meaty, spicy spoonable mass.
Serve over split Hoagie or Onions Rolls, with cole slaw, BBQ Beans, or pickles and raw onion, add an Ice Cold Beer and I am almost ready for the coming week.

Note: For the smoke taste, add 1 TSB of Liquid Smoke, it’s not as good as smoking it yourself, but it’s better than some “Pitt BBQ’s” I can name.



Mmm, sounds good. I’ll have to try that some time. In the mean time, here’s the ridiculously easy and very tasty Hawaiian-style pulled pork recipe I’ve used before: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/kalua-pig-in-a-slow-cooker/
