This is what the pork butt looked like coming out of the crockpot
This is the pork butt shredded before adding the BBQ
This is the finished product!
What you need:Boston Pork Butt (I think the one I used was 3 lbs)
1 jar of BBQ sauce (I used Oink N Squeel. I plan on making my own next time so it will be more Primal)
For the rub:
Note: This is more than you need for this recipe. I am thinking you can cut this in half. My husband always has a mason jar of this rub made up so I just used some out of that.
1/4 cup coarse salt (kosher or sea)
1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
1. I did not trim any of the fat off of the pork butt because I wanted to cook with it on for the flavor. I do however later remove it. Take the pork butt and rub the 'rub' all over the outside.
2. Place pork butt in crockpot and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
3. Remove from crockpot and shred the meat. The meat will be so tender making it very easy to shred. This is when I removed the fat.
4. Clean out crockpot and return shredded meat back to the crockpot and add a BBQ sauce. I then cooked it on low for 4 hours. Since the meat is already cooked, you do not have to cook for 4 hours. It mainly just has to heat back up. I just wanted it in longer for the flavor. I actually made this recipe over a two day period. The first day I cooked the meat and shredded it and stuck it in the fridge. The second day I returned to crockpot and added the BBQ sauce and cooked for 4 hours. I only did this because I got a late start on the first day.
We like to eat this just as it is, no bread of course:) My husband also loves putting this on his salad for lunches. He says no need for any dressing!
