As much as I love a long day’s smoke on my smoker of a big ole hung of pork shoulder, ending with delicious, fantastic pulled pork, I also enjoy an easier version in the slow cooker (er… crockpot). Two totally different approaches result in an enjoyable finish. My ‘usual’ slow cooker approach involves a bottle of smoky BBQ sauce and a few other ingredients. This slow cooker Heinz 57 pulled pork takes that simple concept to a whole new place. This was totally fantastic. Slightly BBQ-ish, a bit tangy, and oh, oh so great. I could eat this all day long. I just piled it high between two burger buns. That’s all I needed. And I was happy!
Almost Beefy
Ok, it may sound odd but this slow cooker Heinz 57 pulled pork was almost BBQ beef-like in texture and taste. I guess it was the steak sauce fooling my brain. It reminded me of a beef sandwich we used to get in high school. Wait… could that have actually been pork? Maybe. Well either way, this was great. I wouldn’t change a thing about it. I thought about adding a few pickles like I would a smoked pulled pork sandwich. Or maybe some onion. But that was totally not necessary. Just buns and pork. And life was good.
