There are few things I love more than BBQ. I am the bbq master in my house. My husband, bless his heart, is a great cook, but he is rarely allowed in my kitchen, let alone near the grill. I'm a control freak. I like things the way I like them, and that is that. Don't feel sorry for him. He has gained 30 lbs in the 3 years we have been together. He is WELL fed.
The one thing I love just as much as my grill is my Crock Pot. I have two regular sized crocks and a mini one for dips and such. I love the heck out of those things! I make a lot of roasts in my crock pot. My favorite is pork. I love how the low and slow cooking makes the meat happy, and it just falls apart.
I thought I would share my recipe, because it was so damn good.
1 tsp black pepper
1/2c Apple cider vinegar
1c good quality apple juice or cider
1 bottle darker beer (I used Newcastle)
1 tsp liquid smoke
1 bottle BBQ sauce
1 large, or 2 small onions, sliced thinly
Place sliced onions in the bottom of the crock pot, then place the roast over the top. Sprinkle the top of the roast liberally with the black pepper. Pour the apple juice/cider, liquid smoke, vinegar & beer over the roast.
Set your crock pot to low and cook for 8-10 hours.
When the meat is done, it should shred with no problem. Remove the roast from the pot and shred. Reserve juice and set aside. Put meat and onions back in the crock pot and turn to high.
Add a bit of the juice and enough barbecue sauce to coat the meat. Let cook on high for another 30-45 minutes, checking occasionally. I served my sliders on mini Hawaiian rolls, but you can use any type of rolls you like.
