What exactly IS pulled pork?

It cooks so tender that you just pull it apart to eat on a bun.....like a burger or sloppy Joe.

Some of the best stuff you'll ever put on a bun.

I purchased the McCormick's pulled pork one and it says to cover the meat with the powdered marinade and keep in the fridge overnight or I think at least 1 hour. Then place in the corckpot and cover with apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and Ketchup but I am substituting Sweet Baby's Ray's BBQ Sauce for the Ketchup. With all of that I will not be needing the 2nd package as most of you said but if needed I could always add a little more BBQ sauce.

I was just worried that it said to cook a 3 to 4 pound boneless pork butt for 8 hours on low and I bought a 5 1/2 pound one and am hoping that 10 or 11 hours on low is enough time to cook it.

Nightowlz, Preds, sunshine45, and nunya....... thank you all so much for your quick replies and your suggestions and how you cook yours. I always know that when in doubt ask in RS. Thanks again.

i have not seen it say that......and looked it up online to make sure. i have always mixed the seasoning packet with the vinegar, brown sugar, and ketchup.

sunshine...... I just checked and you are right. I do not marinate overnight. I had the recipe confused with a recipe I had looked up on the Food Network. Thanks for catching that. I did notice that it calls for a 3 pound boneless pork butt and mine is over 5 1/2 pounds with the bone in so I am thinking instead of 8 hours I will need to cook it for probably 12 hours........what do you think?

Pork so tender it shreds or can be "pulled" apart with fingers or two forks.

OT, but I read a tip on Pinterest to use a KA stand mixer with the regular flat beater to shred cooked boneless pork or chicken and it works in seconds! Just watch closely to get the shredded texture you prefer.

I used the McCormick's Envelope and followed the directions but instead of a 3 pound pork butt I used a 5 1/2 pound pork butt. I substituted my favorite BBQ Sauce in place of the ketchup and instead of 8 hours I cooked it on low in my crockpot for 12 hours. It was delicious. Thank you everyone for your help.

I usually smoke mine on the grill first then toss them in the crock pot. The seasoning sounds yummy. I'll have to look for it.

I always use a pork butt in crock pot also. Recently when my store didn't have any, I tried something totally unexpected & was DELISH!!! I had mistakenly bought some VERY think boneless chops awhile before this,(not for this & found when I cooked them they were so tough they were horrible)( I am talking about 2 in thick!!).

I was in desparate need of pork, so I chose to try the thick chops again. Put them in crock pot, approx 6 hrs, they made great pulled pork (of course more expensive then the pork butt).

If you don't like pork, you can use boneless chicken thighs or skinless thighs on bone (NO SKIN.) One method is to dump your fave bbq sauce over them and put in crock pot, then when they are tender, pull apart with a fork and serve on your regular hamburger bun.

I think I like the chicken version even better--though sometimes you have to trim off that yellow fat on the sides of the thighs.

I wonder how they would be with the McCormick seasoning?
