Pulled Pork...

I add the BBQ sauce that I made to this to make wonderful BBQ pulled pork sandwiches... This is a set it and forget it recipe. You can use any seasonings that you like on the pork.

Ingredients:

Medium to large pork roast ( it has to fit into your crock pot!)

Garlic seasoning ( I use granulated garlic)

Salt

Pepper

TIP: I use all the seasons that I like. Do not use a lot of salt because later you will be adding BBQ sauce to this.


Directions:

Put pork roast into crock pot already seasoned. Set on low. Do not add water or any liquid, as the pork cooks it will release liquid. I cooked mine for 8 hours and it was fall apart tender. After 8 hours check to make sure the pork is cooked through and remove from crock pot if it is. Place roast on cutting board to cool slightly. Dump liquid out of crock pot and set back on the counter, you will still need it.

Take the bones out of the roast if there are any, take two forks and start using them to pull the roast apart. It should look like it has been shredded. As the you finish the pieces, put them back into the crock pot to keep warm. When finished with the roast, add some BBQ sauce and stir , when the sauce is completely stirred in, add more to your preference.

When enough BBQ sauce has been added, put lid on but so that the steam escapes... Let warm through for about 20 - 30 minutes. Put on buns and serve.

1 box of light brown sugar ( about 4 cups)

Vinegar to taste

Worcestershire to taste

Salt to taste
