Rub Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 2 teaspoon granulated garlic (dried garlic flakes or garlic powder work great too)
- 2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Pulled Pork
- 4 pound pork shoulder
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
Mix rub ingredients together in a small bowl.
Place pork on a cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle half the rub over one side of the meat and rub it in. Flip the meat and repeat with the rest of the rub.
Place the pork in the crock pot and pour the Worcestershire sauce over it.
Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. The internal temperature should reach between 195-205℉ for perfect shredding.
Remove the pork from the crock pot and shred it with two forks. Place the meat back in the pot and add the barbecue sauce. Stir until the sauce is mixed in and the meat is coated.
Serve immediately or keep in the crock pot on warm.
- Store leftover pulled pork in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Add extra cayenne pepper to the rub for extra heat.
- Always check the meat for doneness with a meat thermometer as crock pot cooking times can vary.
