Crockpot Pork Barbeque

This Crockpot Pork Barbeque is one of the easiest slow-cooker meals you’ll make with a delicious fulfilling result. Made with Guinness stout, onions and spices, it’s also a budget friendly dinner for 4-6 people. You can serve this savory dish with sides like mashed potatoes and green beans or just make simple BBQ sandwiches with slaw and your favorite barbeque or hot sauce.

The original recipe was shared to me about 15 years ago by a friend and I’ve only slightly modified it to my liking and added the Guinness for an additional flavor richness. I’ve made it several times over the years. In fact, about twice a year I would cook it in the crockpot overnight and take into work to share with coworkers for a hearty “cold-weather” breakfast. I would bring rolls or buns, sauce, mustard and slaw and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

When I make for a big crowd, I use a 6-8 lb. Boston Butt, however this recipe is for 4-6 people, so I used a 2 lb. pork loin rib end roast (also because it’s leaner.) If you decide to go bigger, just double-up your spices, up the fluid amounts and cook slightly longer.


Let’s begin!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 lb. pork loin rib end roast (or pork shoulder or Boston butt will do also)

  • one small yellow onion, quartered

  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic

  • 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns

  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp oregano

  • 1/2 tsp coriander

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 cup Guinness stout

  • water as needed (see instructions below)

Optional: Barbeque or hot sauce of choice

How to make slow cooker pulled pork barbeque

Instructions:

Add pork meat to the crockpot, fattiest side up, especially when using a Boston Butt.

Place quartered onion pieces around sides of meat.

Sprinkle your 1/4 tsp salt on first, then add the minced garlic, peppercorns and all other spices on top of the meat.

Add the Guinness stout all around the sides of meat, then use cold filtered water to add till about halfway up the sides of the meat.

Note: Depending on the size or shape of your meat, you may not have to add water. However, if you do add water, make sure NOT to cover the meat, only go halfway up.

Set crockpot to low and cook 6 hours for 2-3 lbs. or 8 hours for 6-8 lbs.

To complete, transfer meat to a roasting pan and cook in oven (uncovered) at 350℉ / 176℃ for 25-30 minutes or if a larger size (6-8lbs) cook for 45-55 minutes.

Remove and let sit for 5 minutes, then scrap off peppercorns and chop meat to your liking.

Enjoy as is or add your favorite barbeque or hot sauce and toss with meat.

Everyone has different taste in our family, so usually we just add the sauce to the meat at the table. I’m a Carolina girl, so I’m all about a vinegar bbq sauce, while my husband loves the thick smokey sauce or a spicy one.

Our favorite way to enjoy this homemade pork barbeque is on an onion bun with slaw and sauce…and a side of chips and pickles.

…but anyway you choose to eat, it’s delicious!

Enjoy!
