Pulled Pork

Most of us probably do not own a smoker or have a device where we can allow pounds of meat to slowly cook and smoke all day. Most of us do probably have a crock pot. Pork is my favorite thing to cook in the crock pot. If you eat pulled pork, then I recommend making it in your crock pot. It stays moist and has a lot of flavor! This recipe completes the meal for the southern BBQ dinner we enjoyed. All that was missing was a sweat tea.

Need

3-4lb pork butt
1 onion quartered.
1 tbspn cumin
1 tbspn chili powder
1 tbspn salt
1 tbspn pepper
2-3 gloves garlic halved
1/2 can of chipotle peppers (make sure no sugar or wheat is added)
1/4 c. spicy brown mustard
1 tspn apple cider vinegar
1 c. broth (chicken or beef)

Prepare

1. Mix together the spices (cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper) to create a seasoning rub.
2. Using your hands, rub the seasoning over the entire pork roast.
3. Take a knife and create slits throughout the meat. Add the half pieces of garlic throughout the meat. Make the slits deep enough so that the entire garlic piece can fit.
4. Add the quartered onion to the bottom of the crock pot.
5. Put the meat in the pot fat side down.
6. Whisk together the chipotle peppers and mustard. If you like spice, use the entire can of chipotle and increase your mustard ratio.
7. Add this mixture to the top of the meat covering the top and sides.


8. Pour the stock and vinegar around the meat.
9. Set the crock pot for 8-10 hours.

I would prefer to enjoy the meat with a side of barbeque sauce, but barbeque sauce usually has some kind of brown sugar or high fructose corn syrup added to it. Occasionally I do eat it with sauce and it's awesome. Tonight Ben opted for some hot sauce. It was moist, favorable, and delicious!
