CROCK POT COCA-COLA PULLED PORK



Crock Pot Coca-Cola Pulled Pork image

This is a modified version of a friend's recipe for pulled pork. Hers is always a hit at potlucks. The only revisions I made to her original recipe were to suit my family's taste. This is the easiest, tastiest pulled pork. Set the Crock Pot before you leave the house for work and return home to a wonderful aroma and a main dish that is ready when you are. It turns out slightly sweet and smokey with a hint of heat. The Coca-Cola makes the meat fall-off-the-bone tender. I could make my own barbecue sauce but choose to use Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy sauce instead. It's easier, and my family loves it! Use your favorite brand of barbecue sauce if Famous Dave's brand is unavailable in your area. Serve on a burger bun or on its own and enjoy!

Time 8h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (4 -5 lb) pork roast (shoulder or butt)
2 teaspoons garlic, minced, dehydrated
2 teaspoons onions, minced, dehydrated
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, ground
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 liter Coca-Cola (or other brand of cola)
1 (20 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (I use Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy)

Steps:

  • Place roast in a 5 quart crock pot. Season with garlic, onion, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Add liquid smoke and pour in Coca-Cola until it reaches nearly the top of the roast (or covers it depending on the cut of meat).
  • Set Crock Pot on low heat and cook for 8-10 hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove roast from Crock Pot to a platter. Remove any bones and trim all fat. With a fork, begin "pulling" pork apart into thin shreds. Add barbecue sauce and fold into meat.
  • Serve pulled pork on a burger bun or on its own.
  • Note: If preparing this dish for a potluck, pour 1 cup of Crock Pot liquid into a measuring cup and discard the remainder. Then return pulled pork to Crock Pot, set on warm or low heat setting, add 1/2 cup of reserved liquid (to keep the meat from drying out) and cover until ready to serve. If the meat is in the Crock Pot for more than one hour, add more liquid as needed for moisture.

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!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

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!

CROCK-POT BOSTON BUTT SHOULDER FOR PULLED PORK



Crock-Pot Boston Butt Shoulder for Pulled Pork image

I prefer using a smoker, but this is excellent as well. The preparation is the same as for a smoker.

Provided by Red_Apple_Guy

Categories     Pork

Time 9h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

5 lbs boston butt
1/3 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup your favorite barbecue rub (your favorite kind)

Steps:

  • Rinse roast and remove as much fat from the outside as is practical.
  • Dry the roast and slather with mustard.
  • Add enough rub to cover the roast evenly (don't be stingy).
  • Using hands, rub the spices and mustard into the roast on all sides.
  • Place 1 1/2 inch balls of aluminum foil in a 4 or 5 quart crock pot to raise the roast above liquids that will collect in the pot.
  • Place the roast into the crock pot and set on low.
  • Cook the roast until it is 190 to 200F internal temperature.
  • During the cook, the liquids collected may be removed and chilled for defatting.
  • Depending on how "hot" your crock pot cooks, this may take 8 to 12 hours on low or 5 to 8 hours on high. I recommend using temperature rather than time.
  • Another indication of doneness is to try to remove the blade bone by hand. If it can be easily removed, it is done.
  • Rest the roast until it can pulled apart by hand or with forks. Remove fat as you pull the pork.
  • Wet the roast with a portion of the defatted juices and mix.
  • Serve with your favorite sauce, applied on the side or on top for sandwiches.

In the search for the best pulled pork recipe there were several that I found that were appealing. I combined a couple recipes and added my own flare to make this delicious dish.

1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • 2. Remove meat from liquid. (I save the liquid for my homemade vegetable soup and put it in a bowl in the freezer) Using two forks, pull meat apart to shred it. It may not seem like it's working right away, but keep working at it and it will.
  • 3. Stir in the entire bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce (I use sweet, but use whatever is your favorite). Cover and cook on high for another 30 minutes or until completely heated through. Fill hamburger buns.

Time 10h20m

Yield 16 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 -6 lbs pork shoulder (aka "Boston Butt", NOT loin. Have your butcher tie it for you, you want the STRINGY SHOULDER!)
1/4 cup Emeril's Original Essence (or your other favorite BBQ rub mixture.)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I like fire-roasted)

1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons liquid smoke

1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic granules
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 (14 ounce) can low sodium beef broth

Steps:

  • Spread seasoning run liberally over all meat. Place rubbed roast into a large Zip-Lock plastic bag. Chill overnight, or at least several hours. Recommend you make sauce at the same time, so it's ready to go the next day.
  • Preheat regular oven to 225, or crock pot to medium/low.
  • In a large, heavy Dutch oven, heat oil to medium. Brown the seasoned roast until all sides are caramelized. Remove excess fat. Combine all SAUCE ingreadients, and pour over meat. Cover and cook for 8 - 10 hours.
  • Remove meat from pan. Place on large plat and cover with foil until cool enough to handle. Whilie meat is cooling, combine the cornstarch and beef broth with a fork, to remove lumps. Add this thickening agent to the sauce in the pan, to creat the BBQ sauce. Bring to a gentle boil, without the lid, and simmer until thickened. Taste for seasonings.
  • When meat is cool, shred meat by pulling with a fork. Add meat to sauce, and discared any fat and butcher's twine. Simmer approximately 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve as a sandwich on warm potato hamburger buns with coleslaw &/or potato salad. Many people like the slaw ON the sandwich. Freezes well.

3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups barbecue sauce (plain, you can just use a good store bought for this)
1/3 cup honey
3 tablespoons chopped chipoltes in adobo seasoning (to taste, you can go less, is you don't want it spicy)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons orange juice

Steps:

  • Pork -- Season your pork well with salt and pepper. Add the thick sliced onion on the bottom and then top with the pork. Then top with the thin sliced onions.
  • Add the Vernors, cloves, bay leaves and squeeze the oranges and then throw in the pieces. Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours until tender.
  • Pull -- The pork is done. Remove and let cool slightly. Then pull apart the pork.
  • Sauce -- A few minutes before I remove my pork, is when I start my BBQ sauce. In a small pot over medium heat add the sauce, honey, garlic, orange juice, chipoltes and about 1 cup of the Vernors broth. Bring to a light boil, reduce to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes. Add a little more Vernors broth, not much and bring to a boil again and reduce until the sauce is rich and thick.
  • Pork -- As the sauce cooks, pull the pork. Add your sauce to your pork and enjoy. If you don't use all your sauce. Just put in a baggie and freeze. This is great just brushed over pork chops or a tenderloin. Don't throw it out.
  • Onions -- Don't forget about all those good onions. Scoop them out and serve on the side to serve on the sandwich.
  • Serve -- Well you know what to do. Your favorite buns, coleslaw and ENJOY!

PULLED PORK (CROCK POT)



Pulled Pork (Crock Pot) image

I found this pulled pork recipe years ago, and it's a favorite at potlucks. Freezes well for easy quick meals.

Provided by duonyte

Categories     Pork

Time 18h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs pork roast (shoulder or butt)
2 large onions
1 cup ginger ale
1 (18 ounce) bottle favorite barbecue sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
barbecue sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice one onion and place in crock pot.
  • Put in the roast and cover with the other onion, sliced. Pour over the ginger ale. Cover and cook on LOW for about 12 hours. See Note2 below regarding amount of time needed!
  • Remove the meat, strain and save the onions, discard all liquid. With two forks, shred the meat, discarding any remaining fat, bones or skin. Most of the fat will have melted away.
  • Return the shredded meat and the onions to the crock pot, stir in the barbecue sauce. Continue to cook for another 4 to 6 hours on LOW.
  • Serve with hamburger buns or rolls and additional barbecue sauce. Any leftovers freeze very well.
  • TIP: freeze ready-made sandwiches - a scoop of meat on a bun, well-wrapped. These make a great quick meal or snack. To reheat, remove wrapping, wrap in a paper towel, and zap 1-2 minute in the microwave.
  • Note: Shoulder or butt are recommended because the meat shreds very well. Other cuts do not shred as readily. It is a fattier cut, but the fat melts away in the cooking and is poured away when you discard the liquid.
  • Note 2: I have an older, smaller crock pot. The above times work perfectly for me. But if you have a newer or bigger crock pot, you may need to revise times downward, esp. after the bbq sauce is added. I think you need at least a couple of hours for it all to meld, but that may be all you need. Update: I recently bought a bigger crockpot, I think 5 or 6 qts. I cooked a 6 lb pork shoulder in it for 8 hours and it was shreddable at that point. Shredded, added the sauce, and cooked for another hour or so to meld everything. So use your best judgment on timing!
  • Note3: You might want to turn your roast over after it's cooked a while, to ensure more even cooking. I think this may depend on the size and shape of your roast and the size of your slow cooker. Remember that each time you remove the lid you lose heat and be careful, as turning a large piece of meat is awkward.
  • Note4: my sister says this takes 2 hours in the Instapot. I don't have one, up to you to figure out the steps.

CROCK POT PULLED PORK WITH SAUERKRAUT



Crock Pot Pulled Pork With Sauerkraut image

Surprisingly tasty and the result of a mistake that left me needing to come up with a dinner with super easy prep. Freezer to table. I grabbed my crockpot, took a pork tenderloin out of the freezer stuck it in the pot & free poured apple cider I had on hand over it. Put it on & went to work. Later in the day the meat was cooking well, but for our tastes, I knew I had to kick up the flavor. I only had a few minutes to spare. That's when I came up with the other 2 ingredients. Tossed them in & turned down the heat & went back to work. How simple is that! I don't think I spent 5 minutes altogether!

Time 6h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs whole frozen pork tenderloin
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon peppercorn
1/3 cup brandy
8 ounces sauerkraut

Steps:

  • Place the tenderloin in crockpot with the salt & peppercorns. Pour apple cider over. Turn to 300 degrees for 3 hours.
  • Pour in brandy, add sauerkraut, test for salt, add more to taste, reduce heat to 200 degrees for another 3 to 4 hours.
  • Remove lid if necessary to boil off extra liquid before shredding with 2 forks.
  • Serve as a main dish, with beans or mashies or on a toasted roll with melted swiss cheese. Sooo good!

Tips:

  • Use a pork shoulder or butt roast for the best results. These cuts are well-marbled and will become tender and juicy in the slow cooker.
  • Trim excess fat from the pork roast before cooking to reduce the amount of grease in the finished dish.
  • Season the pork roast generously with salt, pepper, and other desired spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Add some liquid to the slow cooker to prevent the pork from drying out. You can use water, broth, or even apple cider.
  • Cook the pork roast on low for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks and return it to the slow cooker. Stir in your favorite barbecue sauce and serve.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot pulled pork is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a party or potluck. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork roast. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious pulled pork dish that your family and friends will love.
