Slow Cooked Pulled Pork

Yesterday I talked about Beef Brisket....Another Great Football watching sandwich is slow cooked pulled pork.

This meltingly tender shredded pork on this sandwich has been slow-cooked for hours in a sweet and tangy sauce.

INGREDIENTS:
1 medium onion, chopped

1/2 cup(s) ketchup

1/3 cup(s) cider vinegar

1/4 cup(s) packed brown sugar

1/4 cup(s) tomato paste

2 tablespoon(s) sweet paprika

2 tablespoon(s) Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoon(s) yellow mustard

1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt

1 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper

4 pound(s) boneless pork shoulder blade roast (fresh pork butt), cut into 4 pieces

12 soft sandwich buns or ciabatta rolls, warmed

Dill pickles (optional)

Potato chips (optional)

Hot sauce (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. In 4 1/2- to 6-quart slow-cooker pot, stir onion, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, tomato paste, paprika, Worcestershire, mustard, salt, and pepper until combined. Add pork to sauce mixture and turn to coat well with sauce.
2. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook pork mixture on low setting as manufacturer directs, 8 to 10 hours or until pork is very tender.
3. With tongs, transfer pork to large bowl. Turn setting on slow cooker to high; cover and heat sauce to boiling to thicken and reduce slightly.
4. While sauce boils, with 2 forks, pull pork into shreds. Return shredded pork to slow cooker and toss with sauce to combine. Cover slow cooker and heat through on high setting if necessary.
5. Spoon pork mixture onto bottom of sandwich buns; replace tops of buns. Serve sandwiches with pickles, potato chips, and hot sauce if you like

Once again...enjoy with your favorite brew and maybe some cole slaw...

Enjoy!  Eat well my friends!
