Happy Monday, Slow Cookerers!!

Pulled Pork is a CrockPot recipe that most people make pretty often.

This recipe uses sauces that are already in your fridge and pantry: ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to create a homemade melt in your mouth barbecue sauce.

Easy and delicious and will be a great addition to your next backyard or football party!

This recipe freezes super well after it's cooked and can also be assembled beforehand, then frozen all together in a ziplock for an easy Dump and Go freezer meal recipe.

Classic Barbecued Pulled Pork

The Ingredients.
serves 6 to 8, easily

4 pounds boneless pork shoulder (sometimes called pork butt)
1 onion, sliced in rings
2 cups ketchup (a 24oz bottle seems to be exactly 2 cups. weird.)
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (I use gluten free)
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

The Directions.

Use a 6 quart crockpot.

Trim meat, and place into your crockpot. Add sliced onion.

Squeeze in 2 cups of ketchup, and then pour 1/2 cup warm water into the ketchup bottle and shake.

Pour the ketchup-y water into your crock.

Add vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, Tabasco and salt.

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until meat shreds easily with a fork.

Serve over rice, or make sandwiches on rolls or sliced bread.

The Verdict.

This smells so good while it's cooking. I decided to cook it overnight to serve guests for lunch and had a hard time sleeping the house smelled so good.

We all loved this sauce combination -- it was zesty and tangy without being spicy. If you do like spice in your pork, you can easily add more Tobasco to your serving.

I love how an inexpensive piece of pork roast can feed an entire party!!
