Dad's Crockpot Pulled Pork

My dad is a gourmet cook and this meal is from his recipe file. Here is the BBQ sauce recipe that goes along with it. As far as BBQ sauce goes, I prefer the vinegar and mustard-based one tends to find in the South. This time I used Sticky Fingers Carolina Classic. If you can't find it in your local groceria you can probably find it online. Of course, the pork can be cooked on the outdoor grill too, but this method is a pretty decent substitute if grilling out isn't an option for you at the moment.

Ingredients:
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp paprika
2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3-4 lb boneless pork butt (bone in OK)
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Put the onion in the bottom of the crockpot. Combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the pork and place on top of the onions.

Whisk together vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour half of this liquid mixture over the pork and keep the rest in the fridge. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 12-14 hours. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, pour the remaining refrigerated liquid mixture over the pork. 

Remove the pork and onions from the crockpot to a large platter and let it cool for at least 20 minutes. Remove any large pieces of fat and fork shred the pork. Chop the onion and mix it in with the pork, as well as some juice from the crockpot.

      

               

Finally, slap some of this pulled pork on your bread of choice and top it with some good stuff such as.sauce, dill pickles, raw onion, chow chow, or cole slaw.
