This recipe is for a classic slow-cooked barbecue pork dish, prepared entirely in a crock pot over a full day. A Boston butt roast is simmered with onions and cloves until incredibly tender and falling apart. The meat is then shredded, combined with a homemade sauce featuring hickory barbecue sauce and Tabasco, and cooked further until flavours meld. It is perfect for serving on warm buns with classic sides like coleslaw. The recipe yields enough for a crowd and leftovers freeze well.

24 Hour Crock Pot Barbecue

Ingredients

  • 2 medium onions

  6. Take out the bone and trim away any excess fat from the pork.
  7. Throw away the cooked onions and the cloves.
