Make this amazingly economical Southern specialty by slowly simmering a pork roast in a rich, slightly spicy sauce until very tender. Sandwiched between a soft bun, piled on top of a baked potato or yam or even eaten on its own, pulled pork is the versatile big batch dish we crave year-round.

  • 1 pkg Pulled Pork Seasoning
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1⁄2 cup vinegar
  • 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup water
  • 5 lbs (2.5 kg) boneless pork shoulder or butt roast

  1. In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine seasoning with ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and water.
  2. Add pork and turn to coat with sauce.
  3. Cover and cook for 6 hrs on low or for 3 hrs on high.
  4. With two forks, pull pork into shreds. Stir into the sauce.
  5. Serve on crusty rolls, nachos, baked potatoes, pizza, and even omelets if desired.
