Pulled Pork BBQ Recipe for the Pork Month

Since I got married to a Carolinian, I've so much indulged myself into delicious pork BBQ's. I couldn't forget one of my delicious BBQ experience while we were in Charlotte (before we got married) at the Old Hickory House which was a famous regular destination for grub. It almost tastes like this pulled pork BBQ recipe which I got online from Susan of Slow and Simple. Carolinians probably would never go wrong with BBQ.

Ingredients

4 lb pork roast
2 onions, sliced, divided
1 onion, chopped
5 or 6 whole cloves
2 cups water
16 oz bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
salt and pepper 

Directions

Place one sliced onion at the bottom of Crock Pot. Stud pork roast with cloves and season with salt and pepper. Place roast in slow cooker on top of the sliced onion. Cover with the second sliced onion and add enough water to fill Crock Pot two thirds of the way. Cover and cook on low 8 to 12 hours.
Remove roast. Remove and discard cloves, bone and fat as well as any water, onions and grease remaining in pot.

Award-Winning Charleston Carolina BBQ Sauce

When pork roast is cool enough to handle, use a fork or your fingers to pull it apart until the entire roast is shredded. Return the pulled pork to the crockpot. Mix in the chopped onion and BBQ sauce and cover. Heat on high for 1-3 hours or until the onions are soft. Serve on large, crusty buns with a mustard based Carolina-style BBQ sauce. Garnish with dill pickle spears, thinly sliced raw onion and pickled pepperoncini (Italian banana peppers). Serve with crisp, homemade slaw.

My Carolinian husband would put the cole slaw on the pulled pork sandwiches, just like old tradition. I think I'm trying this recipe using beef for a one-pot beef roast. I'm really proud to say I married a guy from North Carolina!
