How to Make 24 Hour Crock Pot Barbecue
- The night before serving, place 1 large sliced onion in the bottom of your crock pot.
- Add 3 lbs of your favorite BBQ meat (pork shoulder, beef brisket, or a combination), 2 cups of water, and 6 whole cloves.
- Top with another large sliced onion.
- Cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours, or until the meat is easily shredded and falls off the bone.
- Carefully remove the meat from the crock pot and set aside. Drain the cooking liquid through a colander.
- Remove any bones and excess fat from the meat.
- Discard the onions and cloves.
- Shred the meat using two forks.
- Return the shredded meat to the crock pot.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion, 1 ½ cups of your favorite barbecue sauce, and 1 teaspoon of Tabasco pepper sauce (or to taste).
- Cover and cook on low for the remainder of the day (approximately 12 hours) or on high for 1-3 hours, until heated through and the flavors have melded.
- Serve on warm buns with coleslaw and corn on the cob.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
