Ingredients
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 1 medium green bell pepper cut into thin strips
- 3-4 lbs. boneless pork shoulder or butt roast
- ½ tsp ground red pepper
- 18 oz. bottle barbecue sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Trim and discard any excess fat from the pork roast. In a small bowl, combine salt, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and red pepper; rub this mixture evenly over the pork.
- Layer the sliced onion and bell pepper at the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seasoned pork on top of the vegetables.
- In a separate bowl, mix the barbecue sauce with the brown sugar until well combined, then pour the sauce mixture over the pork. Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- Once cooked, transfer the pork to a cutting board. Remove and discard any remaining fat, then shred the meat using two forks.
- Serve the pulled pork with the sauce spooned over it, or pile it onto buns for classic BBQ pulled pork sandwiches. Alternatively, enjoy it atop a bed of rice for a comforting meal.
