Pulled Pork Craving

Man this meal was delish!!  I was craving pulled pork sandwiches so badly, and decided to make it at home for a Sunday dinner.  Loads of leftovers for next weeks lunches!






In preparation for this meal I purchased a Boston Butt Roast.  Crockpot has marvelous new seasoning mixes for pulled pork so we thought what the heck lets slow cook it instead of smoking it.  I have never had pulled pork sandwich from a crockpot so this is a first.

Our review on the seasoning mix--it sure made things simple for sure.  You only needed to add : brown sugar, ketchup, cider vinegar, and water to the mix.  I like the smoke flavor so I added 2 tablespoons of hickory liquid smoke.  The house sure smells good!

This is how it all went together:


  1. 6lb Boston bone in pork butt
  2. 2 packs of Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Pork seasoning mix(follow instructions based on back of package)
  3. 1 bag of Dole chopped salad kit "BBQ RANCH"
  4. 4 rolls of your choice
Instructions:

Place pork in crockpot.  Mix seasoning as instructed on package.  Pour over pork.  Cook in crockpot 8 hrs on low or 4 hrs on high, or until meat is done.  Shred pork.  Pour back in crockpot.  Cook additional hr in sauce.  Mix chopped salad according to bag.  And assemble sandwich.  Take bottom of bun put a good heaping of pulled pork.  Teaspoon sauce over top to your liking.  Place some chopped salad mix on top of pork.  Top with bun.  And enjoy!

In conclusion: This turned out very good.  It's not the same as having it on the smoker.  But, if you don't have a smoker this is a good alternative.  Especially, if your setting this up in the morning, and most of its done except for pulling the pork for dinner that night.
