Pulled Pork (in the crock pot)

Well, hello blog.

"Learning" surgery has devoured every ounce of my energy and almost all of my free time.  I've been living off of things I made 3 weeks ago and put in the freezer for what I know would be busy weeks ahead.  Now that I think about it, I feel a little like a squirrel- hiding nuts to have later.  Or something.

So this weekend another en masse meal had to happen to feed us for the week.  Pulled pork in the crock pot it was.

Adapted from a recipe on this finance website (where it breaks down the cost of the recipe, because pork shoulder is relatively cheap).

Ingredients:
One 4-6 pound pork shoulder roast
Water
1-2 onions
6 cloves garlic
Dry BBQ seasoning
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 T chili powder
1-3 tsp cayenne pepper
1 T liquid smoke
Jar/bottle BBQ sauce of your favorite variety
Buns and Sriracha mayo (see below), for serving

(0. Optional: Rub dry BBQ seasoning generously over the pork and let sit, wrapped in cling wrap or covered somehow, in the fridge overnight.)
1. Cut the onion(s) into large chunks.  Slice garlic cloves in half.  Toss in bottom of slow cooker.
2.  Rub BBQ seasoning generously over pork if you didn't let it sit overnight with this.  Place entire roast in slow cooker.
3. Add bouillon cube (whole), chili powder, cayenne, and liquid smoke.  Then fill with water until meat is 3/4 covered.
4. Cook on low 2 hours, then high for 4 hours.  (Or you could do low for likely 8-10 hours; I didn't wake up early enough in the morning to accomplish this)
5. Pour off/drain all the liquid.  Discard the onions/garlic if you wish, or leave them if you're into that sort of thing.  Then use 2 forks to shred the meat.  It should pretty much fall apart when you touch it.  Discard any fat.
6. Put back in crock pot, on low, and add as much BBQ sauce as you would like.  Let it warm for 5-10 minutes, then serve on buns with sriracha mayo, additional BBQ sauce, and any other toppings you would like.

Sriracha Mayo (not really a recipe)
2 T mayonnaise (light will do)
1 tsp Sriracha (more to taste)

Mix, then use on sandwiches.
