Pulled Pork

by Sacagawea on February 5, 2010

This is so super-yummy!  It cooks up in the slow cooker and freezes great.  The recipe was shared on a forum I frequent – thanks, Janet!

Before I had surgery, I cooked up quite a few meals and stocked the freezer.  I’ll be sharing those recipes over the next week or so.  I’ll also be putting out a special menu for filling the freezer with some hints on getting the cooking done quickly.  That menu will most likely be posted on February 15.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4 lbs. pork shoulder or beef or pork roast
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 onion, chopped fine
  • 2 cups ketchup or bbq sauce
  • 8 oz taco sauce (not salsa)
  • 2 Tbs. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs. vinegar
  • 2 Tbs. worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. liquid smoke
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 Tbs. dry mustard
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder

The night before, put the meat and salt in the crockpot.  Cook on low 8-10 hours.  The next morning, drain and shred the meat.  It will be very tender.  Put the shredded meat back in the crockpot and mix in all the other ingredients.  Cook another 2-6 hours on low, watching so it doesn’t burn.

I froze it in approximate 4 cup quantities.  That was enough for our family of 6 to eat dinner and have a bit of leftovers for the next day.   Janet says she sometimes freezes it in muffin cups, then drops those into a ziplock freezer bag.  That would be perfect for individual sandwiches.

I love pulled pork, but have never attempted to make it myself. This looks so yummy!

Sounds good. I’ve got a pulled pork crockpot recipe I do regularly. So easy and so good. My favorite kind of cooking.

Perfect timing on the “fill the freezer” menu! I’ll be doing just that when I start my new job. :)

Yum! This looks great for an easy slow-cooked meal, and thanks for the freezing tips! I love the muffin tin idea.
