Truly Amazing BBQ Pulled Pork



Warning: This recipe is extremely labor intensive. BUT, it is a labor of love and dangerously delicious!

What you will need:
*5-6 lbs pork roast (the more marbled fat the better! I usually buy 2 or 3 small roasts instead of 1 big one because it's easier for the sauce to seep through during the cooking process and it stays more moist)
*1 bottle of Kraft Thick & Spicy BBQ sauce
*1 bottle Kraft Honey Roasted Garlic BBQ sauce
* 1/2 cup Ketchup
* 1/3 cup Tapatio Sauce (mexican food isle- this is NOT hot. It is just used to add a smokey flavor)
* 1/2 cup powdered onion soup mix
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 TBS chili powder
* 3 tsp black pepper
* 2 TBS garlic powder
* 2 TBS seasoned meat tenderizer

Combine all ingredients except roast and tenderizer in a large bowl and mix well. Taste. If a more sweet sauce is desired put a tad more ketchup in. If a more tangy smokey sauce is desired put in a bit more Tapatio sauce. Next rub the meat down with seasoned meat tenderizer. Work it into the outside of the meat for a few minutes then place the meat and sauce in a sealable container and let sit for 24 hours. Once ready to cook place whole roast(s) in crock pot with sauce on the low setting. Cook slowly and on low heat for 6 hours. Once 6 hours is reached pull the roasts out and shred with hands or forks. Meat should be fairly easy to shred and almost fall apart. If its not, it needs to cook longer. Once it's all shredded put back in the crock pot with as much sauce as desired. I usually remove about 1 cup of the juice and mix the meat in with the remainder. Let cook on low for a half an hour longer to help thicken everything and then it's ready to eat!! ENJOY!! :)
