Christina's Pulled Pork

adapted from hometoheather.com

• 2-3 pound pork roast
• 1 onion – sliced
• 3/4 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder (or a few teaspoons minced garlic)
• 2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vinegar
• 2 tsp mustard powder (you could squirt in some dijon or even yellow if you don’t have powder on hand)
• 1 tsp – 2 tbsp Louisianna Hot Sauce (optional)
• 1/2 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tbsp oil

Place sliced onion in bottom of crock pot.  Place pork in cooker. Mix all other ingredients and pour over the top.

Cook on low for 8 hours (at the 1/2 way point I turn the meat in the juices)  At the 7.5 hour point I pull out the meat and shred it.  Put it back in your slow cooker to mingle with the sauce while you get the rest of your dinner ready. 

Can also sautee onion and garlic in oil and add rest of ingredients to make sauce and then boil/simmer meat for a few hours. Serve on buns with cole slaw.
