Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Ingredients:
Dry rub for the pork:
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons of chili powder
- 1 tablespoon of ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons of ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons of paprika
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of salt
Combine all rub ingredients in a small bowl
- 1 (8 pound) bone-in pork shoulder
- 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke
- 1/4 cup of water
- 2 cups of barbecue sauce
Pat the meat dry with a paper towel. I like to cut off as much of the fat on the outside of the shoulder as possible. Massage the spice rub all over the meat, using it all. Wrap the rubbed meat tightly in a double layer of plastic wrap. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, I let mine sit over night. Combine water and liquid smoke in the slow cooker. Unwrap the meat and place in the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 8-10 hours. When finished, remove from the slow cooker, shred the meat from the bone and discard the fat. Toss the meat in your favorite barbecue sauce and enjoy!
