North Carolina Barbecue


I made this yesterday and it was enjoyed by all. I've posted this recipe before, but thought I'd post it again since it's so easy and tasty. 

If you're not from North Carolina, you may not appreciate NC barbecue.  I lived in the Tar Heel State for about 15 years and never liked its version of BBQ as much as Ohio's, but it is tasty.

My husband, who grew up in NC, really loves it!  And my kids, who are picky eaters, actually like this version I cooked in my crock pot the other day. If you find it strange, douse in your favorite BBQ sauce and you'll love it!

This recipe is from my Slow Cooker Recipe Book that came with my GE crock pot. Hope you like it!

North Carolina Barbecue
3 lbs boneless pork butt, shoulder or blade roast
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomato
1/2 cup vinegar
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T sugar
1 heaping T red pepper flakes
1 T salt
2 t black pepper

Combine all ingredients in crock. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours. Pull meat apart with fork when done.  Makes about 3 pounds of BBQ. Great Served with baked beans and cole slaw.

What's your favorite BBQ? Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

First time I ever had BBQ here, I was surprised to see pulled pork. (BBQ always meant ribs to me.) I'm used to it now.

Red pepper means, I assume, that it might be spicy.

@Lydia: I hope you try it, Lydia:). It's so easy and tastes great!

@Alex: Hi, Alex! Thanks for stopping by:). Pulled pork is definitely a North Carolina thing. Being from Ohio, BBQ meant ribs to me too.

@William: Despite the red pepper flakes, it's really not that spicy:).
