Crock Pot Pulled Pork

I used to use a recipe that used a number of different seasonings mixed together for pretty darn good pulled pork in a slow cooker. Then I got lazy and just started using Campbell's pulled pork seasoning in a bag. For me, it comes out just a good as mixing all the seasonings together. I am sure a purist would not think so.

If I get overly industrious, I may fire up the smoker and put the pork on the smoker for an hour or so after it has mostly finished cooking in the slow cooker.

I use 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp crushed red pepper, 1 tsp black pepper mixed together and poured over roast. Cook 10 to 12 hours on low

Root Beer.

Sounds crazy but works great. Pork shoulder in cooker, pour in a bunch of root beer. Cook as long as you like. Pour out rootbeer, add half a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays, give it another half hour, then pull!

^ beat me to it. dr pepper also works well. will be trying cherry coke next

1 pork butt or shoulder
1 20 oz bottle of Coke
1 tablespoon of Liquid Smoke
McCormick Pork Dry rub
1 diced onion.

Rub Pork Butt or shoulder with Dry rub the night before let set in refrigerator. In the morning cut up onion and place pork butt or shoulder and onion in crock pot pour the bottle of coke in the crock pot turn on low for 8-10 hours. After cooked warm up your favorite barbecue sauce and mix in after you have pulled the pork.

Can you get Sweet Baby Ray barbecue sauce where you live, Lyn? I use that and sliced onions for pork chops in the crock pot.

Yes, we can buy Sweet Baby Ray's sauce. Above poster mentioned Campbell pulled pork seasoning in a bag - that I have not seen in our stores.

Every recipe sounds delicious - well maybe not the cherry coke one - but
now I must pick one.

Enjoy! You've made me hungry. We're halfway through a 10-week trip and I think it's time to get out my little crock pot and buy some pork this weekend.

^x2 Only thing I do different is rub the meat down the night before. Quick, delicious, and easy as could be without the hassle of monitoring a smoker all day !

Dr. Pepper and Cherry Coke are great subs for any pork recipe that calls for one being used over the other. I make a pork rib glaze that calls for Cherry Coke and can rarely find it in more than a 10 oz can so I buy a 1 liter bottle of DP instead. Same taste...little if any difference.

OP, this is the crock pot pulled pork recipe I use at times. Good basic that allows you to add whatever additional seasonings you like with ease:

I half the amt of cinnamon used just because my family prefers it that way.
