Crockpot Shredded Pork

Welcome to Feed Us Friday! Chris and Hailey, usually, make their own rub for our meat and let it marinate while it's thawing in our refrigerator; and then, we either grill or bake what we are having for dinner. However I decided to make shredded pork in the crockpot while Chris was at work, so I needed to come up with an alternative. I searched the internet to get a general idea as to what seasonings are used for shredded pork and bbq pork. And, I came up with this recipe!

I first mixed

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tbs. paprika

4 garlic cloves,
1tbs. onion powder,

1 tsp of salt,

1 tsp of pepper,

together in a bowl.

(And a tip)

This is one of our favorite

tools in our kitchen.

We have had it for years!

Whenever a recipe calls for garlic,

we use this garlic press from Pampered Chef.

I placed the pork roast in the crockpot

and poured the mixed seasonings on top.

And then, added one small/medium onion.

I covered and cooked it on high for 8 hours.

(most recipes I have read

say between 4-8 hours on low,
so I'm not sure if our crockpot cooks
at a lower temperature,

but ours turned out great.)

After it was done,

I cut the string

shredded the pork

and took it out of the crockpot.

It was delicious!

And it's perfect for reheating if you want leftovers

because it's even better the second day!

In fact, at first, I thought it needed more seasoning,
but Chris loved it, just the way it was, so I left it alone.
After leaving it in the refrigerator overnight,
the seasonings had a chance to really marinate
and I loved it, too!
