Ingredients
Scale
- 1 batch homemade pork rub
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1–2 tablespoons liquid smoke
- (1) 3-3.5 lb pork shoulder (with or without the bone)
Instructions
- Place pork shoulder on a large plate or platter.
- Rub with liquid smoke, getting into all the little crevices.
- Then rub with yellow mustard.
- Finally, take the pork rub and rub all over, it will create almost a paste.*
- Place in slow cooker (no liquid needed) and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
- Remove from slow cooker and shred with two forks (discarding bone if it had one).
- Feel free to return shredded meat to slow cooker to combine with the juices or to serve immediately.
Notes
- Prep Pork Shoulder: Once you have the applied the liquid smoke, mustard and pork rub you can place it in the slow cooker right away OR you can wrap it up (in plastic wrap or aluminum foil) and allow it to sit in the refrigerator overnight. This will help it be little more flavorful, but it is not necessary for the recipe to turn out! It still tastes amazing if you skip that step!
- Whole30/Paleo: we love this option for a compliant liquid smoke.
- Serving: Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce – make a homemade version or buy this one for a Whole30/Paleo option!
- Storage: any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or 2-3 months in the freezer.
