My husband is having a "Guys Night" tonight. This is not the kind of guys night you would normally think of--- there is no bar hopping, no sports bar, no going out... Instead, he and several of his HS friends try to get together every once in a while and enjoy an old pass time from their HS glory days. These guys may not have been the coolest jocks back then, but they can hack into just about anything if you give them time. They're computer geeks! Below is a photo of them all set up and ready for tonight's LAN Party- an all night gamer's paradise!
Anyway, I wanted to make something for the guys to snack on during their festivites so I threw together pulled pork in the crock pot. The devoured these sandwiches! I barely had time to take a photo; hence, the photo of the plate on the keyboard.
The recipe is from http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ on of my favorite sites!
Ingredients:
4 pounds boneless pork shoulder- they only had it with the bone in the store- this wasn't a problem at all as the meat fell right off the bone after cooking.
1 onion, sliced in rings
2 cups ketchup (a 24oz bottle seems to be exactly 2 cups. weird.)
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Trim meat, and place into your crockpot. Add sliced onion. Squeeze in 2 cups of ketchup, and then pour 1/2 cup warm water into the ketchup bottle and shake. Pour the ketchup-y water into your crock. Add vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, Tabasco and salt. Cover and cook on hight for 5-6 hours or until meat shreds easily with a fork.
