This recipe is the perfect weekend meal. The crockpot does all the work for you. It can't get much better then that!
The Ingredients:
- 1 whole Pork Tenderloin Or Pork Shoulder
- 3 cloves Diced Garlic
- 2 Tablespoons Lawry's Season Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
- ½ cups Apple Cider Vinegar, Divided
- 3 cups Water
- 2 cups Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Ground Mustard
- ¼ teaspoons Liquid Smoke
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- ¼ cups Brown Sugar
Generously rub the pork cut that you prefer with the season salt, pepper and garlic. When I make this recipe I don’t measure the ingredients, I just sprinkle away. You can let the rub sit on the pork for as long as you like. I never remember to do it the day before but if you do it ahead your pork will taste even better. So if you think ahead warp it up after you rub it down and put it in the fridge overnight, It's well worth it.
After you allow the rub to sit on your pork place it into your crock pot with the water and vinegar. You may need to cut your pork in half depending how big your cut is. Let this cook on high until the meat falls apart. About 4 to 5 hours.
Remove about 3/4 of the cooking liquid from the crock pot. Shred the pork with a fork and remove the fatty pieces, and return it to your pot. Prepare the sauce in a small bowl, using your ketchup as your base and then adding the remaining vinegar, mustard, liquid smoke, worcestershire, and brown sugar. Add the barbecue sauce to the pulled pork in the pot, and toss together. You may need to add some of the removed liquid back into the pot, the mixture should be nice and moist. Let the pork and sauce simmer for a bit so all the flavors mix together.
Serve on your favorite crusty bun or bread. I love to eat this with cole slaw and home fries. It will please even a picky eater. It is also good with a nice heaping pile of mashed potatoes. Which ever way you like it is a real family pleaser. The leftovers store well and you can go back for more the next day.










Looks absolutely delicious!

Whoopee...I know what we're having for dinner Saturday night. Some homemade potato salad on the side and it could be summer again!
Thanks!

This is a great recipe. I love these sandwiches. Sorry to hear about Chloe. Our oldest Border Collie died a couple of months ago, after becoming ill. I know it is difficult.

when you cook this thing for four hours, I am assuming you leave the lid on. I have mine in a casserole on the stove, and am thinking it may have to go into the oven. I showed my son your post on Chloe which he thought very sad but he has been pestering me ever since to cook this recipe, so I have no choice but to give it a try. :-)
