slowcooker BBQ pork


A few years ago, Jose and I had a conversation about the genres of food that we never go out for anymore, because the version we make at home is better. Then I started thinking about the ones that we exclusively went out for, and decided to work on getting better at them. BBQ pork was on the list, and the first that I set out to tackle. The result isn't really a recipe, but a guideline of sorts...and it turns out supercrazydelicious every single time.

Ingredients:
2-3lb pork roast (beef works too)
1 cup sauce of choice
adobo seasoning
fresh ground pepper

Slice roast into 4 equal slabs, season liberally with adobo and fresh ground pepper. Place meat side-by-side in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour sauce over the meat, cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours. Remove lid, separate meat with a fork and let simmer in the sauce for 30 minutes.

So. Delicious. You can throw in any spices and seasonings that you're partial to, these just happen to be two that are always involved in my BBQ. It's also yummy to throw in a few chunks of pineapple. A few dashes of liquid smoke adds some nice flavor. Really, I think it would be hard to go wrong with this recipe.
