This will be quick...and without pictures.
So Henry and I went out to eat yesterday (as you can see from the review) so by the time I got home I didn't want to cook anything but I knew I needed something for lunch. I decided to bust out the slow cooker and throw things in there. Pretty simple.
I bought a boneless pork butt, seasoned it with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, paprika, a little cayenne, some cajun seasoning, garlic, and onion powder. I let that sit for a bit while I cut up the veggies. I cut up some potatoes, carrots, and an onion. I put that in the bottom of the slow cooker so that the pork can sit on it. I seared off all sides of the pork and put that in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, I added about 2 cups of water, some ketchup, brown sugar, and paprika. Mixed that together then poured into the slow cooker. I set it for about 8 hours on low and went to bed.
In the morning I grabbed the pork from the slow cooker and shredded it with two forks. It was delicious. I decided to give a go at making some BBQ sauce. I started with a little roux, added juice from the slow cooker, paprika, cayenne, a little more ketchup, and some Crown. Yep Crown =) I let that cook for a while and add more salt and pepper as needed.
And there you have it. I made some pulled pork, which I put on toasted sourdough and added a little bit of sauce and tada! I had myself a lunch.
Gotta love the slow cooker =)
Enjoy!
