How To Make texas bbq slow cooker pulled pork

Step 1

Place ½ chopped onions on the bottom of a slow cooker. Place roast on top, fat side up, and cover with remaining onions. In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and whisk. Pour 2/3 of sauce over pork roast, cover and cook on High for 3 hours. Reduce heat to Low and cook for 2 ½ hours.

Step 2

After 5 1/2 hours, remove roast from slow cooker, and shred meat using two forks. Return to slow cooker and pour remaining sauce on top. Stir and cook for an additional 1 hour on High. Scoop meat draining as much liquid as possible and transfer to a plate; set aside.
Step 3

Carefully transfer liquid to a large deep saucepan over medium heat. When it starts boiling, add ½ cup BBQ sauce; stir. Cook for 10 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Add cornstarch mixture and when sauce thickens, transfer meat to saucepan, stir and heat through for 5 minutes.
