Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork
Cold Beer, Pulled Pork Sandwich & Football...sounds like a great time right? I am a huge beer fan and I love cooking with it as well. So when messing around with making pulled pork in the crock pot, I decided that instead of cooking it in water...might as well add some more flavor by cooking it in some Yuengling (Pennsylvania Lager, for those who don't know). This is a very easy, quick and cheap recipe that would be great at your Super Bowl party or to have ready when you come home from a long day at work! Bon Appétit!
Ingredients
- 4 Lbs. Boneless Pork Roast
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 (12 oz.) Bottle Yuengling (or whatever beer you want)
- 1 (18 oz) Bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's)
- Cole Slaw; optional (Recipe Follows)
Season the outside of the pork roast with salt and pepper. Place pork in the crock pot bowl with onion, garlic and beer. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Remove pork from crock pot to a cutting board and shred with a fork. Drain left over liquid in crock pot through a fine-mesh strainer and reserve liquid. Return pork to crock pot, add bbq sauce and a few tablespoons of the liquid (just to help keep the pork moist).
