NOTES
- Recipe modfified from Taste of Home, original recipe from National Pork Board 2011
- Yum! This pork is good plain as well as mixed with your favorite BBQ sauce.
- Original recipe did not call for step 1 but I think browning the meat before putting in the slow-cooker brings out the flavor much more.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 5-pound boneless pork butt (shoulder)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- Soft sandwich buns or rolls
- Favorite BBQ sauce
- Red onion and dill pickle slices, to serve
1. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper and brown on all sides over medium high heat in a large pot. Let cool slightly on a cutting board.
2. Combine all the seasonings in a small bowl and rub evenly over roast. Place meat in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add water. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours or until pork is very tender.
3. Remove pork to a large cutting board or platter and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Pull, slice or chop to serve. Either return to slow cooker and mix with BBQ sauce or serve plain with BBQ sauce.
4. Top buns/rolls with pork, sliced onion and pickles.
