NORTH CAROLINA PORK BBQ (FOR SLOW COOKER)

North Carolina Pork BBQ (For Slow Cooker) image

This recipe came with my slow cooker cookbook. I absolutely love it and you can make it as spicy as you like! Everyone loves it. Serve on a bun with coleslaw. You can even put the coleslaw on the sandwich and it's great! Ive used many kinds of pork roast, but it's great with pork loin--no bones or fat to worry about.

Time 10h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 lbs boneless pork blade roast or 3 lbs pork loin
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper

Steps:

1. Combine all ingredients in crock pot.
2. Cover and cook 8-10 hours on low, or 5 hours on high.

Tips:

Use a good quality pork shoulder for the best results. The higher the fat content, the more flavorful the pork will be after cooking.
Brown the pork shoulder in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop the flavor and create a crispy outer layer.
Use a variety of spices and seasonings in the rub. This will give the pork a complex flavor profile.
Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker. This will help to keep the pork moist and tender.
Cook the pork on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
Serve the pork with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread.
