Being a Midwestern transplant, it didn’t take long to figure out these Southern folks take their BBQ seriously. Most importantly…Sloppy Joes are NOT BBQ sandwiches!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot stress that enough.
Geez!
Once I got my terminology straightened out, I began searching for a good BBQ recipe. Unfortunately my ribs still need a lot of work, but last year I found an awesome recipe for Pulled Pork Sandwiches over at Work It Mom.
Seriously, this crockpot recipe is so easy that it amazes me every time I make it. How does it turn out so darn good???
All you do is take a Boston Butt (which my kids think is hilarious, by the way…”Mom said butt!!!”), and put it in your crockpot. Cover it with 1/2 cup of water. Sprinkle with sea salt and ground pepper. Put the lid on, set it to low, and forget about the silly pork bottom for say, 10-12 hours.
At dinner time, use 2 forks to shred the meat. Then add your favorite BBQ sauce* (or serve it ON THE SIDE if you are fixin’ to feed a good ole boy), and ta da ~ Let’s eat!
*side note: if you click the link above you will find that Chris added her homemade BBQ sauce recipe to the Work It Mom site. I however do not feel the need to put forth the extra effort. Unless you count reaching down to the bottom shelf to buy the sauce that’s 2 for $3 at Publix this week as “extra effort”.
