After eating these sandwiches, I'm proud to say that I'm firmly in the pulled pork camp. They were absolutely delicious and made my house smell so good when it cooked all day. I'd even go so far as to say they're better than Famous Dave's. And they really couldn't be easier.
Crockpot Pulled Pork
Rub adapted from Cook's Illustrated
Serves about 6
Prep Time - 15 min
Cook Time - 8-10 hrs
INGREDIENTS
1 4-5 lb pork butt roast
1/4 tsp liquid smoke
1/8 cup water
1 cup barbeque sauce (I recommend Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy)
Rub
2 tsp pepper
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 TBSP chili powder
1 TBSP ground cumin
1 TBSP brown sugar
1 TBSP oregano
2 TBSP paprika
1 TBSP sugar
2 tsp white pepper
DIRECTIONS
Mix together the spice rub and rub it all over te meat. Double-wrap the roast in plastic wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Unwrap the roast and place in the crockpot. Add liquid smoke and water.
Cook on low for 8-10 hrs.
Transfer to a cutting board and pull the meat with forks. If your roast is cooked enough, this should be incredibly easy. If it takes any effort, your raost probably isn't done enough.
Discard any fat and all but about 1 TBSP of liquid from the crockpot.
Place the meat back in the slow cooker and add a generous 1/2 cup of barbeque sauce. Cook for another 30-60 minutes.
Serve on toasted buns and top with more barbeque sauce, as desired.

My husband has found a new love for rubs... I will have to share this one with him.
This looks perfect!!
I love pulled pork and I usually order pulled pork with baked beans whenever I go to a bbq place. I just got a crockpot (and by just i mean two days ago) and this is definitely one of the things I'll be making!
Oh my! This sounds so yummy, and so very easy. I'll have to try this.. Yum, I imagine it on a roll with coleslaw..
Very Easy... wasn't exactly what I was looking for but definitely one I will be keeping!
Thanks!
