Whether it's super bowl parties, birthdays, or just plain pork nights, the crock pot pulled pork recipe will definitely make your mouth water.

BBQ Pork Sandwiches

A variation to your favorite sandwiches with barbecue sauce and moist pulled pork.

Ingredients

• Pork shoulder roast, 4 lbs
• 6 whole cloves
• 2 red onions, julienne
• 3 tablespoons spice seasoning (your choice of brand)
• Barbecue sauce

Stuff cloves in the roast and rub with the spice seasoning blend. Place the roast in crock pot and top it with onions. Pour water till the roast is completely covered and slow cook for 8-10 hours. Remove the cloves from the pork, layer of fat, excess water, and grease from the pot. After the roast has cool down, shred and pull the meat with a fork or your hands. Place the meat in the crock pot and add barbecue sauce to it. Heat it for 1-2 hours. Serve it hot with your choice of rolls.

Savory Tacos

The crock pot tacos are my family's favorite. You can also give this recipe a twist of your own with chicken and beef as well.

Cabbage Slaw

• 1 red cabbage, shredded
• 4 medium carrots, grated

Tacos

Take a crock pot and put onions in the bottom, then the pork shoulder with fat and skin side up, and add soy sauce, orange marmalade, garlic, salt and pepper. Let it cook over a low heat for 8-10 hours. Once the meat is cooked, remove from the pot and let it cool down. Shred and pull the meat apart with the help of a fork or your hands, and arrange the meat over a platter. Leave some meat on the bone. This will keep it warm and juicy, and pull it at the table. Warm the tortillas in a microwave oven. Arrange the pork and tortillas on the table with some cabbage slaw topping.
