Slow Cooker Barbecued Pulled Pork
Ingredients
1 boneless pork shoulder or butt roast (3 to 4 pounds)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 onion, thinly sliced (sweet onion or red onion are interesting variants)
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 bottle (18 ounces) barbecue sauce (try honey or sweet bbq sauce too)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
Directions
Trim excess fat from pork. Combine salt, cumin, paprika, black pepper and red pepper in small bowl; rub over roast. Place onion and bell pepper in 5-quart slow cooker; add pork. Combine barbecue sauce and brown sugar in medium bowl; pour over meat. Cover and cook on LOW 8 to 10 hours.
Transfer roast to cutting board. Trim and discard remaining fat from roast. Pull pork into coarse shreds using 2 forks. Serve over warmed sandwhich buns or rice. You can skip the rub portion or mix in your own rub as you so desire. Makes 4 to 6 servings
