This is the time of year when things really start getting busy again in my house. School has been in full swing for awhile, fall sports are back in gear and the holidays are quickly approaching. Slow cooker meals become my best friend once again (who am I kidding, they are always my best friend!) and this one is a sure fire winner that is as delicious as it is easy. This is the BEST pulled pork recipe and takes seriously little effort.
Although this recipe is a family favorite in my home, I usually don’t make it often in the summer months. It is so darn hot down here in the humid south and hot sandwiches tend to fall by the wayside until fall rolls around again. I made this pulled pork for a fantasy football draft party that I recently hosted for my husband and his team and was once again reminded of what a top dog recipe it is.
- 2½ lbs pork shoulder roast
- 20 oz barbecue sauce
- 1 Tbs lemon juice
- 1 Tbs brown sugar
- 1 large onion, diced
- Place only the roast in the slow cooker and cook on low for 10-12 hours or on high for 5-6 hours.
- Remove pork and shred. Discard any juice remaining in the slow cooker. Add the barbecue sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, onion and shredded pork to the slow cooker and cook on low for 2 hours or on high for 1 hour.
- Serve as sandwiches, in tortillas or over rice or noodles.
Do you love slow cooker meals in the fall and winter? Do you have any favorites? I would love to hear about them! You can also check out the incredible beer candied bacon (yes, you read that correctly!) and the cheese stuffed beer pretzels will be posted soon.
