Pulled BBQ Pork
During years of vacationing on the North Carolina coast, I became hooked on their pork barbecue. The version I developed is a favorite at potluck dinners. —Joseph Sarnoski, West Chester, Pennsylvania

Great flavors, big hit will make it again
I did not have time to cook the veg before putting in the slow cooker, which likely accounts for why the flavour was a bit one dimensional. Added some instant coffee granules and cocoa powder to deepen the flavour (and colour). Molasses would also help with that (in place of the brown sugar). I also used about 1 1/2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in place of the hot pepper sauce.Great base recipe, easy to adapt to preference. Will definitely make again.
Best pulled pork recipe. Not oversauced and tangy with a nice spicy kick. Friends love it.
Real North Carolina barbeque does not have tomatoes in it.
If you use chefdaddy bbq sauce, you will do a flip.
I followed the recipe as written except for straining the vegetables from the sauce before recombining with the pulled pork and adding a dash of salt. My family and I loved it I thought it really captured the North Carolina BBQ flavor.
I made this yesterday and we all liked it. Even my picky brother said it was good!

I thought this was a good recipe, though I wish the BBQ sauce was a little more tangy. My boyfriend didn't like it though. However, he's not fond of any slow-cooker pork recipes so far.
