Pulled Pork

By Rander9576

Ingredients

• • 5-7 pound whole pork shoulder (Pork Butt, )
• • 1 medium to large onion
• • A few cloves of garlic
• • BBQ Rub Seasoning
• • Liquid Smoke
• • BBQ Sauce
• • Salt and pepper
• Yields approximately 8-10 pulled pork sandwiches

Preparation

Step 1

First, take the onion and few cloves of garlic and give them a rough chop. Just quarter the onions if you want.
Dump the onions and garlic into your crock pot. Go ahead and give them a good few pinches of kosher salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
Now you just need to season the pork. Give it a nice good coating of store-bought BBQ rub or your own spice mix. Don’t be shy as it’s nearly impossible to over season it at this point. If you really want some flavor you can season it and then wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge overnight so that some of the flavors begin to really get absorbed into the meat. That is totally optional, but also totally delicious.
Drop the pork into the crock pot with the rest of the ingredients and it’s time to add some of the liquid smoke. This stuff is concentrated so a little bit goes a long way. For this recipe I usually use 1-2 tablespoons. We will be discarding the cooking liquid when we’re done anyway.
Put crockpot on low and then let it go overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Remove meat and discard fat and bone. Discard all liquid. Shred meat and return to crockpot and add BBQ sauce.
Depending on how big your pork shoulder is you may need anywhere from a half a bottle to a whole 40 oz bottle of sauce
