    This was really easy to put together, and it turned out pretty tasty. I think next time I make pulled pork, I'll also make a reduced BBQ sauce to put on top of it, as the juice from this was super liquidy.

    Slow-Cooker Barbecued Pulled Pork
    Blogger crockpot365

    4 lbs. boneless pork shoulder
    1 onion, sliced in rings
    2 cups ketchup (a 24oz bottle seems to be exactly 2 cups. weird.)
    ½ cup warm water
    ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
    ¼ cup brown sugar
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
    ½ teaspoon kosher salt

    Use a 6 quart slow cooker. Trim meat, and place into your slow cooker. Add sliced onion. Squeeze in 2 cups of ketchup, and then pour ½ cup warm water into the ketchup bottle and shake. Pour the ketchup-y water into your slow cooker. Add vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, Tabasco and salt.
    Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
    Serve over rice, or make sandwiches on rolls or sliced bread.

      This looks wonderful. No homemade rolls though, Ashley? 😉

      Yeah when doing crockpot "BBQ" the best thing to do is just put a rub on the shoulder. Cook it with a bit of water in there, shred and then add a sauce in.

      This looks delicious - I love my crockpot, but I don't use it nearly enough.

      This was great reheated for lunch, too. I'll definitely try Brandon's method, too. Spice rubs are wonderful!
