Pulled Pork in a Crock Pot

Pulled Pork Sandwiches. I have to admit I have never been a good pork cooker. The meat (pork) just seem to always turn out to tough or to tough or tougher. Never fails. No fault of the pork. When I saw this recipe for pulled pork I said to myself YES. This turned out so good I will make it over and over and for parties with a nice cold beer this summer!

 I added one of my own ingredient but only one this time. Some cayenne power and only a smig-in for me! I love my food spicy. I use to put Tabasco on the kidz food when they were little thus the love of all things spice for them. Oh the joy of motherhood!

I cooked mine in my little ole' (25 years) crock pot. In the crock pot I left it on low for 5 hours..Mine is so old it only has low or hot. This made it easy to do other things but you could do it in a dutch oven or any big pot. Just make sure you are home you can not leave it like a crock pot. And stir it every hour or so.

Ingredients

3-4 lb. boneless pork roast
1 large onion (sliced or chopped)
2 garlic cloves (whole)
1 cup ketchup
3 Tbsp. Cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp dark molasses
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Tabasco
1/2 tsp. salt

Any crispy yummy buns that will hold that drippy deliciousness. I used bread I had made fresh. 

Scatter onions and garlic clove on the bottom of your slow cooker.

Combine all the spices into a large bowl mix and apply to your pork. 

Once completely covered pop your pork into you cooker and make the glaze.

In a bowl combine all the other liquid ingredients ketchup, tabasco, Dejon mustard and molasses.

Cover and cook on low until the pork is fork tender. About half way through the cooking take any large pieces of pork that have not already fallen apart and shred them. I like to shred it so the flavor goes through the meat while still cooking. Once it is cooked heat your rolls and serve hot. Yummy in the Tummy and you will eat it all the way!
