Easy Crockpot Pulled Pork

I bought this massive pork shoulder because I had a coupon for $6.00 off any pork product and it was the best price I saw on pork, but unfortunately and had no idea what to do with it. I haven't cooked much pork since it was hard to find where we used to live, but I'm rediscovering the deliciousness of pork once again. Thanks for all your recipes. I look forward to trying some of them in the future.

I was set to make this into a Mexican dish but unfortunately I remembered I didn't have cheese and in our house that won't fly. I didn't have the car the day I made this and was rushed for time before I had to get to VBS, so I went to plan B, Kalua Pork. I poured in some apple cider vinegar and some apple juice to cover the roast (thanks to the convenience store across the street) and a smidgen of liquid smoke, maybe a teaspoon.

Cooked it on low for about 8 hours. It came right off and shredded beautifully. It's the most meat my toddler has EVER consumed and he ate it plain. I made up some plain brown rice in the rice cooker and by this time I was craving BBQ sauce, so I served the pork over the rice I added some BBQ sauce on top.


The verdict: Yum and it was excellent on sandwiches tonight. This is such a great recipe and one that is easy to throw together in less than 5 minutes. It gets 5 Stars from us, try it and see how many stars your family would give it.
For more great recipes check out the Recipe Swap over at Grocery Cart Challenge on Friday.

Enjoy!
