Paula Deen Crock Pot Pulled Pork Recipes

PAULA DEEN ALL DAY PULLED PORK RECIPE - (3.6/5)

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl whisk together salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Place roast in a 13 x 9 pan and rub entire roast with dry rub mixture, pressing mixture into the roast. Cover roast with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator at least 2 hours. In a medium mixing bowl combine apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke and garlic powder. Place roast in a slow cooker, pour several tablespoons of the apple juice mixture over the top of the roast, then pour remaining mixture on the side of the roast (I do this so all the dry rub isn't washed off the top). Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on low heat 8 - 10 hours. Remove roast from slow cooker and shred. Return shredded pork to slow cooker (in broth) and allow to cook 30 more minutes. Ladle out majority of the broth (I leave about 1/2 - 3/4 cup) and pour in barbecue sauce and stir. Serve warm, over rolls with optional coleslaw. •*Original recipe calls for 2 Tbsp of each salt and pepper but I thought 1 1/2 Tbsp was plenty. It also doesn't call for freshly ground black pepper but I think it makes a big difference. •**Original recipe lists Barbeque sauce. I like to add 1 1/4 cups and I only use Bullseye brand. I have tried many other kinds and several homemade recipes and Bullseye is just it for me. It's perfect with this recipe.

PAULA DEEN'S FAVORITE PULLED PORK SANDWICH RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine dry spices. Add pork butt to the crock of a large slow cooker. Pour can of Sprite or other lemon-lime soda, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce on top of the pork. Top with dry spices, salt and pepper, and brown sugar. Pat into the meat. Cook on LOW 8-10 hours. Carefully pour off the liquid in the crock pot. Remove the bone and shred the meat. Pour entire bottle of BBQ sauce over shredded meat. Stir to combine. Serve on a bun piled high, top with prepared coleslaw.

SLOW-COOKER PULLED PORK

Steps:

• In small bowl, stir together paprika, salt, garlic powder and brown sugar.
• Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Rub paprika mixture on pork to cover completely. Place pork in slow cooker. Pour water around pork.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or High heat setting 3 to 4 hours, until extremely tender.
• Transfer pork to cutting board. Let rest until cool enough to handle. Use 2 forks to shred pork.
• Discard liquid in slow cooker. Wipe out slow cooker. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Return shredded pork to slow cooker; stir in barbecue sauce until well mixed. Cover; cook on High heat setting 10 to 15 minutes or until hot.

PULLED PORK (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Slice one onion and place in crock pot.
• Put in the roast and cover with the other onion, sliced. Pour over the ginger ale. Cover and cook on LOW for about 12 hours. See Note2 below regarding amount of time needed!
• Remove the meat, strain and save the onions, discard all liquid. With two forks, shred the meat, discarding any remaining fat, bones or skin. Most of the fat will have melted away.
• Return the shredded meat and the onions to the crock pot, stir in the barbecue sauce. Continue to cook for another 4 to 6 hours on LOW.
• Serve with hamburger buns or rolls and additional barbecue sauce. Any leftovers freeze very well.
• TIP: freeze ready-made sandwiches - a scoop of meat on a bun, well-wrapped. These make a great quick meal or snack. To reheat, remove wrapping, wrap in a paper towel, and zap 1-2 minute in the microwave.
• Note: Shoulder or butt are recommended because the meat shreds very well. Other cuts do not shred as readily. It is a fattier cut, but the fat melts away in the cooking and is poured away when you discard the liquid.
• Note 2: I have an older, smaller crock pot. The above times work perfectly for me. But if you have a newer or bigger crock pot, you may need to revise times downward, esp. after the bbq sauce is added. I think you need at least a couple of hours for it all to meld, but that may be all you need. Update: I recently bought a bigger crockpot, I think 5 or 6 qts. I cooked a 6 lb pork shoulder in it for 8 hours and it was shreddable at that point. Shredded, added the sauce, and cooked for another hour or so to meld everything. So use your best judgment on timing!
• Note3: You might want to turn your roast over after it's cooked a while, to ensure more even cooking. I think this may depend on the size and shape of your roast and the size of your slow cooker. Remember that each time you remove the lid you lose heat and be careful, as turning a large piece of meat is awkward.
• Note4: my sister says this takes 2 hours in the Instapot. I don't have one, up to you to figure out the steps.
