Slow Cooker Carolina Pulled Pork

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Slow Cooker Carolina Pulled Pork is a mouthwatering, no-fuss dinner that only takes 15 minutes to prep. When your busy schedule gets in the way of getting dinner ready, you can set and forget. 

Being from the Midwest, I’ve always used those those sugary BBQ sauces. I had no idea that vinegar based sauces existed, until I met my husband. He is from North Carolina and grew up on vinegar BBQ sauce.

Carolina Treet is a staple in our home. At any given time, there are at least 4 bottles in the pantry. My mother-in-law packs a few with her on her visits, since it is unavailable here in Southern California.

If you are not from the Carolina’s, don’t worry, I have included a tasty vinegar barbecue sauce recipe. I found the incredible recipe from an old Bicentennial cookbook my mother-in-law gave me. It packs incredible flavor and you will not be disappointed.

It tastes great on so many meats! We smother it on everything from ribs, chicken, steak and juicy pulled pork.

This delicious slow cooker recipe takes no time at all. The pork roast sits in the crockpot on a bed of quartered onions. An easy dry rub of brown sugar and seasonings smothered with the homemade vinegar sauce brings a whole lot of flavor to the meat!

    Ingredients say chuck roast but instruction say pork roast. Confusing.

    We love Carolina Treet. I grew up with it on my grandparents farm in Virginia north of Danville. It’s so hard to find and impossible here in PA.

    I’m definitely going to try this, thanks!

    As a South Carolina exile in Ohio, I’m been searching for a copycat Carolina Treet recipe. Will definitely give this a try.

    Try a chuck roast sous vide with light s&p. 30 hour bath at 128-130. Pat dry and heavily baste the cooked roast in CT. Sear over high heat on the grill until the marinade turns dark and crispy, 2-3 minutes a side at 550-600 degrees.

    Slice thin against the grain. We call it Myrtle Beach ribeye,
