Pork Crock Pot Cooking Instructions
- Set your crock pot to low
- Chop onion and add to crock pot
- Combine all dry spices above into a small bowl
- Rub spices on all sides of the pork roast
- Place pork roast into the crock pot
- Pour about 1 cup of barbecue sauce over the pork roast
- Cook about 6 to 8 hours (it will look like there is not much liquid in the crock pot as it begins to cook – the pork will slowly add its own juices to the liquid)
- Remove pork from crock pot
- Scoop out loose onions and set those aside
- Strain remaining liquid – you should end up with 1-2 cups of strained liquid
- Shred pork and place back into empty crock pot
- Add the the cooked onions you set aside and pour the strained liquid back into the pot
- Next add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce, stir and let simmer in crock pot about 30 minutes
- Place pork on paleo buns if desired
- Top meat with extra barbecue sauce if desired
