BBQ Pineapple Pulled Pork in the Crock Pot

You are going to LOVE this recipe!  It can be a little labor intensive when it comes to pulling/shredding the meat, but it is worth it.  This recipe does take a while to cook, so make sure you read the directions thoroughly so you understand the amount of cook time needed.  This is another one of those recipes from the Crock Pot Meals for a Month challenge that we will be making again.  If you don’t eat pork, you can easy substitute chicken in its place. 



I love ketchup on my cheesy potatoes!  No judging.  lol

BBQ Pineapple Pulled Pork

1 4-6lb pork shoulder roast

1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce

1 15oz can of pineapple tidbits, juice and all

salt and pepper

Rub roast with salt and pepper.  Place inside gallon sized freezer bag.  Add other ingredients and freeze.

Cooking from frozen:

Allow at least 6-8hrs for roast to fully cook. 

Cooking from fresh:

Rub roast with salt and pepper.  Place in crock pot with other ingredient.  Cook 5-8 hrs.

Remove roast once cooked, and place on cutting board.  Use 2 forks to pull apart and shred the meat.  Return the meat to crock pot and let cook in juices for another hour or so.

**I cooked my roast from frozen for 8hrs overnight.  I then turned off the crock pot, shredded the meat, and let it cool before placing in the fridge.  The next day I returned it to the crock pot, and cooked for an additional 4 hours.  This gave the meat additional time to marinate and absorb more of the flavor.  If you have the time, I highly recommend cooking it this way.
