            Crock Pot or ‘No Smoke’ Pulled Pork with Tres Amigos

 Ingredients:

Boston Butt or Picnic, be certain it will fit into your largest Crock pot.

Tres Amigo's Rub from REAL LiFE RUBS

1-Large white onion

BBQ Sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is my favorite) 1 Bottle should get you there.

 

Meat Prep:

Prepare the meat the day before you plan to make the dish. Reserve some of the rub to add into the meat once cooked. You can also add some of the rub to a neutral flavored BBQ sauce if you like. Remove the butt from wrapping, dry, rub completely with the Tres Amigo's on all sides and ends. Wrap in parchment and plastic wrap and seal in aluminum foil so it doesn't leak. Refrigerate.

 

Cooking:

Take a large onion skin and slice into 1/4"+ Slices, spread the onion rings across the bottom of your Largest crock pot, place butt in crock pot skin side up, sprinkle extra rub on top. Fill crock pot with cold water to about 1/2 inch below the rim, cover and turn on high for 8 hours.

 

Once the meat is done, take tongs or large forks and remove the meat in chunks into a large bowl, removing bones and fat and any connective tissue as you go. Once all of the meat is out of the "broth" retain 1/4 - 1/2 cup for adding back to the meat for moisture. Shred the meat with two large forks. Sprinkle additional rub into meat mix and some broth and mix well. At this point you can serve it with or without sauce, with or without a roll. Cole slaw is always a good side for this dish, pickles too.
