Ingredients

  • 5 lb boneless pork shoulder butt roast
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

Spice Rub:

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  • Make the Spice Rub. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, oregano, and cumin.
  • Season the Roast. Pat the pork dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, then season all sides generously with the spice rub.
  • Cook. Place the roast in the crockpot and surround it with chopped onion and minced garlic. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Shred. Remove the roast and shred using two forks. Stir the shredded meat back into some of the cooking liquid to keep it moist. Serve with BBQ sauce if desired.
