Crockpot Pulled Pork



My husband and I LOVE barbeque. So after trying a few places around town and thinking, "Well, that was ok, but not worth how much we paid for it..." we decided to make pulled pork ourselves.

This recipe is SO easy. It's perfect for letting the roast cook while you're at work and then will be ready about an hour after you get home.

What you'll need:

Either a Boston Butt or Picnic pork roast- (these two "shred" the easiest.)
1 small-medium yellow onion sliced into large chunks
1 1/4 cup water- it really doesn't matter how big your roast is. As long as it fits in your crock pot, always use the same amount of water.
salt
pepper
BBQ sauce
hamburger buns

Salt and pepper the outside of the roast (usually just a light even coat on both sides). Place roast and onion chunks in crock pot with water and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Drain liquid and take out onions. Shred pork and add about 1 cup BBQ sauce (this really isn't exact, I just keep adding til I think it's enough) Cook on low for at least 1 hour. Stir it up every 20 minutes to make sure it isn't burning or sticking to the bottom too much.

Serve on a bun with some extra sauce and enjoy!

You can use any kind of BBQ sauce, but after trying several different brands and varieties we've decided that we like Sweet Baby Rays Original the best. We bought 2/40 oz bottles at Costco for only $5. (The smaller bottles are usually around $3 at the grocery store so this was a STEAL!)
