Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Kansas City Style Pork Rub

The hubby and I wanted pulled pork, so we search the internet for some good recipes and came across this recipe for a rib rub. We decide to give it a try as seasoning for the pulled pork. I made a couple minor changes and it's definitely a keeper. We've made pulled pork a few times now and will continue to make a regular appearance on our menu. We usually eat it as sandwiches and eat the leftover on baked potatos with a little bit of cheese and barbecue sauce. So good.

Kansas City Style Dry Rub

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cup paprika
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder (optional to add a little bit of smokey flavor)

Mix all ingredients together and store in an air tight jar.

Slow cooker puller pork

• 3 pound pork roast
• Kansas City Style Dry Rub (see above)

Generously rub pork roast with dry rub. Place in slowcooker, fat side up.  Cook on low 8 hours until pork is tender. Remove roast from slow cooker and shred. (Tip: iYou can easily shred your meat by cutting your roast into quarters and place it in your kitchen aid with the cookie beater attachment.)  After pork is shredded, mix in the juices remaining in your slower cooker to keep the pork nice and moist. Serve on a bun or a baked potato, with a little cheese and barbecue sauce.
