Pulled Pork by Paula Deen and Me

I made this pulled pork and it was so delicious! My husband said it was the best ever!-well duh it is a Paula Deen recipe. I only put the dry rub on for an hour and I cooked in a crock pot for 6 hours or so. I also lessened the amount of the apple cider vinegar.. it was alittle strong! I did not have liquid smoke but it still turned out, although I'm sure with it, it would be amazing. That stuff works wonders on meat, giving it that extra dimension of flavor a crock pot just can't do! It also makes gobs of food. Easy and yum! Tell me if you like it.

BBQ Pork Sandwich

Recipe adapted from Paula Deen

Dry Rub:

2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 tablespoon cayenne

Marinade:

2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire
1/2 tablespoon liquid smoke
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder

4 pound shoulder pork roast 
6 soft hamburger buns 
Your favorite BBQ sauce and some stellar Cole slaw

Directions 

We are going to start out by making the rub! 
Mix the dry rub ingredients in small bowl. Rub the rub all over the roast! Pressing into the meat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
When your 1-2 hours are done.. combine liquid ingredients and the garlic powder in a crock pot. Remove wrap from pork and place in crock pot.  Cook for 6-8 hours or until fork tender and shreds easily. If using liquid smoke brush it onto the roast every couple of hours.
When done remove from the crock pot  and shred the pork with a fork or tongs into bite size pieces. I placed it back into the marinade to keep the meat moist and warm until ready to serve. 

Now the assembly is quiet important. You really need some good soft buns, (that's what she said! ahh!). Sorry that was out of line! but quality BREAD is important.  So if you have a gas stove or wanna throw on your broiler, toast up your buns!  
Next pile on some meat, with no juice. If you haven't already tried the meat, you will notice that it is pretty tasty with nothing else. But go ahead and throw on your favorite BBQ sauce for good measure. .. and let it ooze on the sides. mmm. Gotta love Sweet Baby Ray's.
Next pile your coleslaw on top. DON'T skip it!! It is so good! If you have never tried coleslaw on a BBQ sandwich- now is the time to start! I like to add in a little paprika and green apples to my slaw. We also have a great and simple recipe for coleslaw HERE if you need one :)

And there you go. In true southern style, a rockin BBQ sandwich.


Finger-lickin good. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
