| We are hosting a Super Bowl party tomorrow and I want to serve pulled pork two ways. With slaw on small slider buns and in small tortillas with sour cream, jalapenos and cheese. Problem is I don't have a smoker or a heavy weight casserole available to me...just a crock pot. Anyone have a good crock pot recipe for pulled pork? |

| I do this a lot now that I am back to work full time. I like pork shoulder, trim the big hunks of fat, leave the little ones. If it is boneless, cut the strings off and rub a good dry rub BBQ seasoning blend all over it. Inside, outside, everywhere and dump an extra tablespoon or two in for good mesure. Put a couple of sliced onions on the bottom of the crock pot, dump in 1/2 bottle of beer (your choice) and lay the pork over it. Cook on low for 8 hours or so, if you need to speed it up, I put it on high for an hour then turn it down for another 4 - 5 hours until you can pull it. Longer is better if you can manage the time. If you need a good dry rub, this is what I use: 3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar Have fun! Alexa |

| Sharon, here is the one I use. I found it on Tasty Kitchen a few years ago and it has become our favorite! I use about 3-1/2 lb of pork, tho. There is enough sauce for that extra half pound.

| I also do pulled pork in the crockpot when the weather is too cold or I don't have time to fuss with the smoker. I use this recipe from Food Network, I used to just cook the pork with a can of root beer, some onions, salt and pepper, the girls loved it. Elery likes it spicier, so I use this now. Spicy Pulled Crockpot Pork 3 tablespoons light brown sugar Combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar, the paprika, mustard powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet; add the pork and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 5 minutes. Remove the pork and transfer to a plate; whisk 3/4 cup water into the drippings in the skillet. Transfer the liquid to a 5-to-6-quart slow cooker. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2 cups water to the slow cooker and whisk to combine. Add the pork, cover and cook on low, 8 hours. Remove the pork and transfer to a cutting board. Strain the liquid into a saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Season with salt. Roughly chop the pork and mix in a bowl with 1 cup of the reduced cooking liquid, and salt and vinegar to taste. Serve on buns with barbecue sauce and coleslaw. Have fun! Annie |

| Here is a recipe for Beef, but I have used pork to make it Italian Pork. One time I didnt have the Italian dressing mix, so added some dry beef boullion instead. Have also used pork and beef together. Served this to our pastor and family once, they now make it often on Sunday's lunch. They now call it 'Trudy's Buns'! |

| I have a nice pork butt I'm going to stick in the crockpot too tomorrow. One thing I highly suggest, no matter what else you put on it, stuff it with slivers of garlic all over the place. We do that whether we're just going to make the pork with a gravy to serve over rice or if we put my bbq sauce on it to pull. I just cut slits and shove the garlic in, then I'll brown it and put it in the crock. I'll decide when I do it where we'll go from there. I think Christy is leaning toward pork and gravy over rice, in which case after the browning I'll cover with some broth and let it do it's thing. |

| This is super easy. My family loves it. Pork shoulder or pork tenderloin seasoning of your choice a can of ginger ale or Dr.Pepper 1/2 cup vinegar cook in slow cooker until tender. shred the pork and add desired amount of favorite BBQ sauce and some of the juices from cooking |

| DH's favorite recipe. We have it about once a month in the winter time. Coll's Slow Cooked Pulled Pork Prep time: 30 mins 4-6# boneless pork shoulder-blade roast cut into 4 pieces, fat removed Combine all ingredients, except pork. Cover and cook with lid on for 8-10 hours until pork is very tender and falling apart. *Can cook overnight. Transfer pork to a large bowl or platter, cool and pull apart with fingers or forks. Serve on soft buns and smother with a scoop of creamy cole slaw for true Southern Style pulled pork samiches. |

| Chase, so how did your pulled pork turn out? |
|
| It turned out very well ! As did the party if my butt dragging is any judge! I used Alexa's rub and Linda's sauce......I served it two ways, as mini soft tacos and sliders . They were a big hit Thanks everyone.......... |
|
| Butt dragging is usually a sign of a successful bash, Sharon! I think I'll try the rub next time I make that pulled pork recipe. I bet it would take it right over the top! Linda |
|
| I made some pulled pork today with Alexa's rub, Linda's sauce and Annie's method- it is delish and DH is a very happy man :-) and the house smells great :-D |
