BBQ Pulled Pork with Tbsp Chipotles Adobo

Serves 8 in about 9 hours. The pot starts with barbecue sauce use, then onion.

Ingredients

• 3-4 lbs pork shoulder (boneless or bone-in)
• 1/2-1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp ribs spice rub (my recipe) or your favorite rub
• 1 small yellow onion, halved and sliced
• 2 cups barbecue sauce, use your favorite
• 1-2 tbsp chipotles in adobo, with some of the sauce (for a spicy, smoky flavor)

Method

1. Stir in onion, barbecue sauce, and chipotle, if using. Stir.
2. Rub pork shoulder with the salt and the spice rub.
3. Set pork shoulder in the slow cooker with the fat side up.
4. Simmer on Low for 9-10 hours, or High for 5-6 hours. If you can, stir the sauce about halfway through and turn the meat over. It will be fine if you don't.
5. After cooking, scrape off the fat layer and discard. Lift out the meat to a large plate and shred it using two forks.
6. Skim some of the fat off of the top of the juices in the pot, using a large spoon. Return the meat to the crock and stir to combine with the juices. Tip in a little more bbq sauce if needed.
7. Plate on toasted burger buns.Top with my Easy Creamy Coleslaw.
