With grilling season upon us…the backyard smokers are in full swing. Â This recipe is actually a great way to be able to enjoy barbecue any time of year and especially on rainy days or days when you can’t tend to a smoker. Â Enjoy.
Easy Slow Cooker Barbecue
- 1 3 to 4-pound Boston Butt Pork Roast
- 1 bottle of your favorite Barbecue sauce (we used Bulls Eye Kansas City Style)
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 1 cup of water or beer (we used water but only because we did not have beer on hand)
- Garlic Powder
- Â Kosher salt
- Onion Powder
- Paprika
- Season Boston Butt with salt, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. (Just sprinkle evenly on all sides- I did not measure the amount. However, go light on the paprika.)
- Place roast in 5 to 6-quart crock pot. Add Chicken broth.Â
- Cook on low temperature 5 to 6 hours until internal temperature reaches at least 170 degrees and meat can be easily shredded with a fork.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine full jar of barbecue sauce (I used a 16 oz. bottle) and beer or water. (This merely thins it a little.)
- When pork is cooked, shred pork in the the crock pot using two dinner forks and remove any excess fat and the bone.Â
- Remove pork from crock and place in 10-inch covered non-stick deep skillet. Add barbecue sauce and combine thoroughly. Simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
Serving suggestion:
We made sandwiches with this, but you can serve it with your favorite sides if you want. The sandwich pictured is made with buttered and toasted “Texas Toast” and pre-made store bought coleslaw. Â
