Miss the tarheel tradition of a pig pickin'? Then find yourself a crock pot, a big pork shoulder, some cider vinegar and get cooking! While ground and crushed red pepper will provide the basic heat - go the extra mile and find some Texas Pete (or Trappey's) pepper sauce to bring the taste of Carolina to your kitchen.

SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK



Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork image

If you've spent any time on Pinterest or food blogs, you've likely come across a recipe for three-ingredient barbecue pulled pork that can be made in the slow cooker. Methods and ingredients vary, but the recipe almost always calls for boneless pork shoulder, some sort of dark cola (usually Dr Pepper or root beer) and barbecue sauce. Dubious? We were too, so we asked the members of our NYT Cooking Community Facebook page if anyone had ever made it and if they liked it. We received more than 150 very opinionated responses. Many readers have come up with their own clever twists, like using coffee or beer in place of cola, adding onions or chipotles, rubbing the meat with a spice blend and searing the meat before cooking. We tried cooking it a few different ways and found we liked this adaptation best. It calls for a few more ingredients and an extra step or two, but it's got layers of flavor and it's still mostly fuss-free. (You can find the pressure-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Categories     meat, sandwiches, main course

Time 10h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons hot or sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3 to 4 pound boneless pork shoulder or pork butt, trimmed of most of its excess fat
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus additional for greasing
1 yellow onion, chopped (optional)
1 (12-ounce) can dark soda, like Dr Pepper, root beer, cola or birch beer
1/2 to 1 1/2 cups homemade or store-bought barbecue sauce
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
  • Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
  • Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.

EASTERN NC PULLED PORK BBQ IN A CROCK POT



Eastern NC Pulled Pork BBQ in a Crock Pot image

It's the best way to make BBQ short of having a pig pickin'! Eastern NC BBQ done the right way. No tomato in sight! The taste reminds me of Smithfield's, which is the best BBQ in my opinion. This BBQ goes great in a sandwich topped with a scoop of sweet coleslaw, side of hushpuppies, and sweet tea. Mmmmmm. Enjoy!

Time 12h20m

Yield 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco(TM)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large vidalia onion (or other type of sweet onion)
8 -12 lbs pork shoulder
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
dry rub seasonings (any good one) (optional)

Steps:

  • Quarter and slice the onion into little arches. Place about half an onion's worth in the crock pot as to line the bottom.
  • Place the whole pork shoulder into the crock-pot. Take just a small amount of sauce to dampen the shoulder.
  • Cover with a generous coating of spice rub, if desired.
  • Top with remaining onion slices. Take 75% of the sauce and pour it around the pork shoulder. Then pour the white and cider vinegars around the pork.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours.
  • When cooking is complete, remove cover and then carefully pull the bone out of the pork shoulder (BE CAREFUL! IT WILL BE HOT!).
  • Carefully remove the meat and half of the onions from the crock-pot and put into a large bowl, leaving behind as much of the cooked vinegar solution behind as possible. A slotted spoon may be needed.
  • Then with two forks (or your hands once the meat has cooled a little, if you are so inclined), "pull" (shred) the meat.
  • Pour in most of the remaining, "uncooked" sauce, saving a little to add to BBQ sandwiches as desired. (Personally, I prefer using Texas Pete on my sandwiches.).
  • Serve as sandwich or BBQ plate.
  • Enjoy!

  • Season the pork well: Rub the pork with a mixture of spices, herbs, and salt and pepper. This will help to develop the flavor of the pork.
  • Cook the pork on low heat: Cooking the pork on low heat for a long period of time will help to make it tender and juicy.
  • Add liquid to the crock pot: Adding liquid to the crock pot will help to keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Shred the pork when it is done cooking: Once the pork is done cooking, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder.
  • Conclusion:

    Crock pot pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your pulled pork turns out perfect every time.
