Slow Cooker Pulled Pork (spice rub from Cooks Illustrated)

Spice Rub:

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 tablespoons ground cumin

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon dried oregano

4 tablespoons paprika

2 tablespoons table salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground white pepper

1 (6-8 pound) bone-in pork shoulder

½ teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)

2 cups barbecue sauce

1. Mix all spice rub ingredients in small bowl.

2. Massage spice rub into meat. Wrap tightly in double layer of plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 3 hours. (For stronger flavor, the roast can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)

3. Unwrap roast and place it in slow cooker liner. Add liquid smoke, if using, and ¼ cup water. Turn slow cooker to low and cook for 8-10 hours, until meat is fork-tender.

4. Transfer roast to cutting board; discard liquid in liner. “Pull” by tearing meat into thin shreds with two forks or your fingers. Discard fat.

5. Place shredded meat back in slow cooker liner; toss with 1 cup barbecue sauce, and heat on low for 30-60 minutes, until hot. Serve with additional barbecue sauce.

Alexis Notes: This was AMAZING and very yummy, now I would have loved it even more if I let the rub sit the 3 hours, but as always I was in a hurry. I also add a bottle of my dad's beer he left here, I saw on a few sites that people added beer so I did too. It made a great taste and the pork was super tender and easy to shred!

And I leave you with a recipe from one of my favorite foodies Heidi at Tried-and-True cooking with Heidi she post the most amazing recipes I think I've posted like 5 and have tried even more! LOVE her and her recipes! And for you who are thinking but she's trying to loose weight don't worry these were wrapped up and given to the neighbor. I try to bring baked goods to them at least once a week since Cole goes over there like every night and eats dinner often there!
