Simple Crock Pot Pulled Pork with Beer

Written By: Chris - Feb• 19•15

I’ve been working on trying to make some dishes in smaller portions.  I typically pull out my large 18 or 22 quart roasting pan when I make this dish, but since I was going to be hosting a smaller group, I made a smaller simple crock pot pulled pork diploma duo.  You can use pork butt or pork shoulder.  Each work well in this preparation so I just grab what’s on sale.  It really is simple; but you need to plan ahead because the key to keeping it tender is to cook it low and slow herunterladen.  With the smaller portion, I usually cook mine anywhere from eight to 16 hours.  I like to make it ahead of time and just reheat it prior to the event navcore downloaden.  Pork is relatively inexpensive so it’s a go to for me as I’m able feed a large group at a value.  You can use any dark ale beer, but I used Honey Weiss because it’s what I had on hand animal crossing new horizons designs herunterladen.  The crock pot keeps the meat warm and the reserved stock keeps it moist.  Folks can dish up their own and I offer a couple condiments along side so people can choose their own toppings!  I like to serve these on sweet Hawaiian buns and offer a mild creamy horseradish sauce and BBQ sauce I can't instagram.  This recipe is perfect for a party setting.

Stir the meat from time to time and once tender, remove the large chunks of pork (and fat), using a strainer while reserving the juice.  Allow the fat to rise using an “Oil Fat Separator” and keep the juices.  Shred with two forks.  Discard fat and try to reserve visible onion pieces.

After discarding the initial pour of stock including the fat out, pour enough of the juices to completely saturate the pork.  If using immediately, return the pork to the slow cooker and keep warm.  If using at a later time, allow to cool before placing in an airtight container and refrigerate.  Warm thoroughly before serving.

The pork will be tender, moist and delicious!  It tastes great on King’s Hawaiian Rolls with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce and Woeber’s Horseradish sauce.  Its zesty taste created from freshly ground horseradish blended with special spices into a creamy base is awesome.

The pork also freezes well.

Enjoy!
Cheers!
