Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Back to the crock pot....honestly, the best invention EVER!
I found this recipe at "Crepes of Wrath"

Ingredients:
  • 2.5 lbs pork butt roast (bone in)   [this was enough meat for about 4 people]
  • 1/4 cup +  tbsp light brown sugar
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 onion diced (I only had 1/2 an onion, still worked well)
  • 1 6oz can tomato paste
  • 4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 tbsp. molasses
  • 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp chili powder (use less if you don't want it spicy)
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dry ground mustard
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • a pack of buns
  • BBQ sauce if you want (we didn't need any....very juicy, lots of flavor!)
Side: We just had some veggies -- asparagus,carrots, onion....

Directions:

  • Cut excess fat off the meat, place in the crock pot.
  • Pour all the other ingredients into the crock pot (except the buns and bbq sauce of course)
  • Turn the crock pot on low for 8 hours
  • (I was home parts of the day, so every now and then I stirred everything and flipped the meat, but it wasn't necessary)
  • About 30 minutes before you serve, shred the meat using 2 forks and remove the bone.
  • Once the meat is shredded, turn your crock pot on warm
  • Serve whenever you're ready
  • I put the buns in the oven to warm for a few minutes before serving (we just used little "sammie" buns



  • ENJOY!
