I've used this technique the last few times I've made pulled pork but substitute my own secret recipe rub and mix in some of my homemade barbeque sauce before serving. Very good.

This recipe was delicious! The only changes I made were to use two cups of beef broth for my liquid and I used more liquid smoke. I did not brown my meat beforehand. I just cut it into small chuncks and put it in the crock pot with the onions, garlic, broth, cajun seasoning, and liquid smoke. I cooked it on Low for about 6 hours, then took the meat out and shredded it and poured out some of the liquid, then placed it all back in the crock pot. We made sandwiches from it topped with a little BBQ sauce (Cattlemens-Kansas City Classic) and some coleslaw. However, I tasted the meat beforehand and it was tender and juicy and had a great flavor all on its own! This is the best pulled pork recipe I have found! Thanks, Brenda!

Made this for a fund raiser serving 150 people... it was a big hit with many people asking for the recipe! Love the fact that I could adjust the serving amount on this site! Adjustments I made were cooking the day before.. letting the pork sit lightly sauced over night and reheating with more sauce at the time of serving. Very tender flavorfull meat!

Not even close to tasty! I have had to load this up with barbeque sauce. And, unfortunately, I made it for a big crowd. Extremely disappointed.

Cook time is way off. Even with all the liquid, the meat was dry. Unless you're a huge fan of Carolina BBQ, do NOT sub 2 cups of cider vinegar for the water. All you will taste is vinegar and the meat will be useless as leftovers for anything else.

Great to come home after being gone all day and smell this terrific recipe cooking in the crock pot. I just put it all in together as some other reveiwers had stated, and it was fantastic. Next time I will increase the smoke flavor, and decrease the cajun flavor for something different, but there will be a repeat appearance of this one - very good -thanks for sharing!

Cut the liquid in half and used beef broth instead of water. It was so tender and juicy after cooking all day in the slow cooker. This was delicious served on buns with BBQ sauce.

Overall, very good if you like pulled pork. I didn't bother browning the pork first though. I seasoned it with "Cajun Seasoning Mix" from this site and added it to the slow cooker along with a bit of minced garlic. I left out the onion (personal perference when it comes to pulled pork). I've done a few "southern" pulled pork recipes and most call for cider vinegar vs. just water so I used 2 cups of apple cider vinegar and 2 cups of water. I let that go for 5 hours on low. I removed the meat and shredded it with two forks. I drained the liquid reserving 2 cups and put that back into the crock pot along with the shredded pork and then added 2 Tbsp. of liquid smoke. I also added a little brown sugar and cayenne pepper. I let that go for another hour on low. This is great topped with your favorite bbq sauce or try "White BBQ Sauce" from this site along with a side of coleslaw and cornbread!
