Dinner last night
I had a pork roast in the freezer. In the past, every time I made one most of it went to waste as it was just not a favorite around here (except for me). So, yesterday I decided to make pulled pork -- I believe it was Janice's recipe. It was wonderful! Better yet, everyone enjoyed it. We have plenty of leftovers too as it really goes far.
Here you go -- this was so easy. Definitely a new favorite around here!
Pulled Pork
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
2 pounds boneless pork roast
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, more if you like it spicy
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
4 cups water
1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
Directions:
Cut the pork roast into large chunks. Season generously with Cajun seasoning. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork, and brown on all sides. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a slow cooker.
Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for a few minutes until tender. Stir in the water scraping the bottom to include all of the browned pork bits from the bottom of the pan, then pour the whole mixture into the slow cooker with the pork. Stir in liquid smoke flavoring.
Cover and cook on high for 6 hours, or until meat is falling apart when pierced with a fork. Remove pieces of pork from the slow cooker and shred. Return to the sloww cooker to keep warm while serving. if desired, add BBQ sauce after meat is removed from cooker.
**** I used a generous amt of cajun seasoning and it was not too spicey. I used onion and garlic powders (my son is picky about the real stuff). After shredding the meat I dumped out the liquid, tossed the meat with BBQ sauce and returned it to the cooker for a few minutes. This made a good amount of meat. Plenty of leftovers!
