Bbq Pulled Pork Bowls Recipe

• To prepare the pork, take it out of its package and use paper towels to give it a thorough cleaning on all sides. If preferred, remove some of the larger fat chunks off the outside, being careful to preserve some fat. Combine the smoked paprika, garlic and onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Make sure the entire pig butt is covered in seasoning by liberally seasoning it with the spice mixture. Put in the refrigerator for at least four hours, but better overnight, to allow the spice to seep in.

• To the slow cooker, add the seasoned pork butt and pour in the full bottle of BBQ sauce. Simmer for ten hours on low. After the meat is done, remove it from the crockpot and reserve the liquid. Shred the pork with two forks, being careful to remove the fattier portions. Place the pulled pork shreds in a bowl. Pour part of the cooking liquid that was set aside on top.

• Set the oven’s temperature to 425. Sweet potatoes should be cut into rounds. Pour some olive oil over it. Add smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt to the sweet potatoes for seasoning. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once during the cooking process, or until the outside is golden brown and the center is soft.

• To a bowl, add the shredded pulled pork, black beans, charred corn, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced avocado, and pickled red onion.
• If desired, garnish with additional BBQ sauce and cilantro. Have fun!

HOW TO MAKE THESE PULLED PORK BOWLS

• I liberally season the pork butt by rubbing it with a concoction of brown sugar, smoky paprika, onion and garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure that the seasoning coats the entire pig butt. In order for the seasoned pork butt to truly absorb the flavor, I also like to let it remain in the refrigerator for an entire night (or at least four hours).

• Once the meat is cooked, add a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce and some seasoned pig butt to the slow cooker. Simmer for ten hours on low. After the meat is done, remove it from the crockpot and reserve the liquid. Shred the pork with two forks, being careful to remove the fattier portions. Place the pulled pork shreds in a bowl.
