BBQ Pulled Pork

 

Cooking pork low and slow in the oven gives you a tender, juicy, cut of meat.  You can either cook the pork roast in the oven, or in a slow cooker. It takes no time at all to prepare this meal, as the longest time is in the baking.  This recipe is perfect for family get-togethers, or when you work all day, and you just want to come home to a deliciously prepared meal.

Ingredients

1 tsp. vegetable oil
4 lb. pork shoulder roast with most of the fat removed
1 c. barbecue sauce (use your favorite, or you can make your own)
1/2 c. apple cider vinegar
1/2 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 Tbs. mustard
1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbs. liquid smoke
1 Tbs. chili powder
1 onion, chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic
1 1/2 tsp. thyme
8 hamburger buns (bought, or you can make your own Hamburger Buns)

Directions

Preheat oven to 180° to 200°. 

Place the pork roast in a roasting pan.

In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce, vinegar, chicken broth, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, chili powder, onion, garlic and thyme. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Pour the sauce over the top of the roast.

Bake for 10 to 12 hours, or until the pork shreds easily with a fork.

Remove the roast from the oven. Shred the meat using 2 forks.  Mix the meat with the juices in the pan.  

Place some of the pulled pork into the buns. Serve and enjoy.
