Aspie Recipes: Slow Cooker Crock Pot BBQ Pork

By Nathan Young on April 18, 2013

It’s very rare that I do two recipes in one week! But I wanted to make something with a crock pot that was given to me by the apartment manager. And since most people in the south loves BBQ, I wanted to make something where you can get BBQ pork in a crock pot. To get started, you need a pork shoulder or pork butt, a large onion, and a can of Dr. Pepper. First, you need to make a rub which is a mixture of spices. This is the spices that you need.

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Mix all the spices together in a bowl, then rub all over the meat.

2. Chop one onion well, then place in bottom of crock pot.

3. Place pork meat inside crock pot.

4. Pour a 12 ounce can of Dr. Pepper inside crock pot.

5. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Basically turn on in the morning before you go to work and it will be ready when you get back home!

6. After 6-8 hours, turn off crock pot and take meat and onions out and place onto plate.

7. Let meat cool, then chop meat up well for sandwiches.

There you go, I enjoyed these sandwiches. You will have plenty of pork to go for a few days if you live alone! You can always put some BBQ sauce on top if you want. Hope you enjoy this recipe!
