Best Ever Pulled Pork for the Crock Pot
Well, as I never actually really liked pulled pork to being with I had no idea what a good recipe for it consisted of. I found this recipe last year and decided to try it because I knew it was something my husband would like and it only had 4 ingredients and looked easy. This recipe has been used over and over again in the year since I came across it and has been the center of many family functions since then. I actually was asked to make it for my sister in laws bridal shower and I got many compliments on it. Of course Kevin always puts his own spin on things with his hot sauce but even I have come to really like this dish and my son eats it as well.
1 boneless pork shoulder
1 jar of Heinz chili sauce
3 packages of McCormick Sloppy Joe mix
½ cup of beef broth
lemon pepper
garlic salt
olive oil
In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. I always cut of excess fat off of the pork as I don’t want to chew on a big bite of fat. Sprinkle meat with lemon pepper and garlic salt and place into hot oil, browning meat on all sides. Once the meat is browned on all sides, place into a crock pot.
Meanwhile, combine the chili sauce, sloppy joe mix and beef broth and mix well. Pour over meat and cover and cook for 8 to 10 hours on low setting or 3 to 4 hours on high setting. Use a large fork and shred meat in crock pot before service.
Kevin puts a few dashes of hot sauce on his, the rest of us like it plain.
Serve on your favorite sandwich rolls or hamburger buns.
