Blizzard BBQ

Colorado is about to get hit by a massive winter storm that is predicted to tear through Vail Pass and Summit Valley over the next two days. With snow and wind gusts over 100 miles per hour (really!), I feel lucky to be in Denver where the weather will remain in the 50's and snowless. Nevertheless, Colorado has been in dire need of snow so I decided to celebrate the storm by firin' up my trusty crock pot for some winter-worthy, slow-cooked Bar-B-Que.  Steadfast cravings of my inner cowgirl...

Second grade (me), ready for the rodeo.

Slow-Cooked BBQ Pulled Pork,
(sandwich style).

Never before did I realize that pulled pork (a true favorite of mine) was so easy to prepare at home, and on a busy weeknight at that!  This recipe required only THREE ingredients with minimal prep. Simply place a pork roast in your handy dandy crock pot. Shake salt and pepper generously over the top and cover with the lid. Let it cook away while you are at work and when you return home from your busy day, your pork roast will be tender and falling off the bone.

Shred, shred, shred!

Pour on your favorite BBQ sauce to taste. 

My absolute favorite sauce in the world.
Must purchase within Kansas state boarders
or off of some other schmuck that's selling
bottle for profit (like me)!

Leave your spurs by the door and dish up a generous serving of pork over a few slices of white Texas Toast or Wonder Bread to soak up all of the saucy juices (we used buttered, crusty sourdough for lack of the others).  

Yeehaw!

Slow-Cooked Pulled Pork 

Serves 4

3 lbs. pork roast

Salt and pepper

Your favorite BBQ sauce

Place pork roast into crock pot with fattiest side up. Season well with salt and pepper. Place lid on top and cook on low heat setting for 8-10 hours, or high heat setting for 5-6 hours. Try not to remove the lid (it will release all of the heat and extend your cooking time). When meat is falling off of the bone and cooked through, shred, then mix in BBQ sauce to your liking. Serve with white bread and coleslaw.
