Difficulty: Easy

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 7-8 hours

Serves: 8

2 Tablespoons paprika
1 Tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 Tablespoon sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt

1 boneless pork shoulder roast (Boston butt), 5 pounds, well-trimmed of excess fat and cut in

half

1 medium onion, sliced

5 garlic cloves, peeled

1 ½ cups water

Your favorite BBQ sauce

1.       To make the spice rub, combine paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, sugar, black pepper, salt, and red pepper in a bowl.

2.       Rub spice mixture over pork roast, pressing into surface.

1. Place pork roast in a crock pot with onion, garlic cloves, and water. Cover and put on high heat for 3 hours.  Then reduce heat to low and cook for another 4-5 hours or until the pork begins to pull apart easily.
2. Remove pork butt and shred with a fork.  Mix with your favorite barbeque sauce.  Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.  If you want a really moist pulled pork, add some of the degreased cooking liquid.

Put it on a bun, and that is a great dinner. You can find more recipes like this one at our partner Live Well Network’s website .
