Meal No. 2452: Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork


Last Sunday night was a special evening at the Roediger House, made noteworthy by a return visit of Mookie's folks Rita and Jimmy. With six of us at the table, I wanted to have a-plenty to serve up. Since Boston Butt was on a special sale for 99-cents-a-pound, that narrowed down my options to something porklicious. I had to divert from my first inclination because some key ingredients were not available at the local Hispanic grocery, so I defaulted to a delicious alternative: slow cooker Texas pulled pork with Wild Willy's Rub and homemade tangy Carolina barbecue sauce. I bulked up our plates with homemade baked beans (without the ground beef this time) and my mother's sweet southern coleslaw.
