Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
By Pattywak
If you have never bought a Pork Butt or Shoulder, and are unsure what it is, just ask the meat man to help you. They are always great. Tell them what you are using it for, and they will point you in the right direction. It usually runs around .99 cents a lb.
I like to use beer when I slow cook it. The alcohol cooks out of it, and it gives it a good flavor. But, you can simply use water.
Use your favorite Barbecue sauce! Just make sure you add the sauce after the roast cooks when you shred the meat. Then you can add additional spices also to kick up the flavor. I like to add a little cayenne, garlic powder, or hot sauce to taste.
Ingredients
