Someone asked me on my Facebook page to post more slow cooker recipes which was quite coincidental because yesterday, as I was reading that particular post, I was unpacking a giant pork roast that I intended to make into pulled pork. This is about the easiest meal a person could make and so versatile. This morning we ate the pulled pork with eggs and tonight I’ll make some Purple Cabbage Slaw to eat along with the pork and I’ll maybe even make a salad out of it for lunch tomorrow; if there is any left (which I doubt there will be….)
Beyond Easy Pulled Pork
4-5 lb pork butt roast
2 yellow onions, sliced
Dry Rub
3 tbsps chili powder
1 tsp coriander
2 tsps cumin
2 tsps onion powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
2 tsps sea salt
Mix all dry rub ingredients together. Rub the entire roast with the dry rub (you should use it all.) Place a layer of onions on the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the roast on top. Put the rest of the sliced onions on top of the slow cooker. NO LIQUID NECESSARY! Cook the roast on high for 5-6 hours and then turn down to low for another 3-4 hours or until the roast is literally falling apart and easy to shred.
Enjoy!
I’m sorry I’m not much of a cook so this probably sounds stupid but what is dry rub?
Dry rub just means to rub the dry spices onto the meat with your hands :0)
I’m making this today, except I will be adding (paleo) BBQ sauce– I love my pulled pork saucy
!!
Holy moly, was this easy and mega tasty. The caramelized onions on the bottom of the pot at the end really make it.
Just finished eating this and it turned out perfect! I was concerned it might be a little dry but it was moist, tender, and delicious. Thank you so much for posting this. We will definitely be making this again.
