Impossibly Easy Sweet Pulled Pork image

This has become a staple in our home. We absolutely LOVE this pork. There is a restaurant chain here in Utah called Costa Vida and this is as close as we have come to replicating the sweet pork they make there for the burritos/salads/etc.

Categories     Pork

Time 12h10m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -5 lbs pork roast
12 ounces salsa (We usually use Pace Picante Medium(but we have used homemade salsa with great results)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (Just enough to coat the skillet)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat--we prefer to use Cast-Iron for searing, so if you have one, use it.
  • Rub the Salt and Pepper all over the roast.
  • Sear the Roast in the skillet for 1-2 min per side.
  • Toss the seared Roast in your crock-pot.
  • sprinkle the Brown Sugar over the roast and then dump the salsa over the top of that.
  • Cook on Low for 10-12 hours. You will know when the roast is done, because it will shred easily with a couple of forks.
  • Shred the pork right there in your crockpot and mix it all up with the drippings and other liquids.
  • Serve as a filling for tacos/burritos or on top of salads.
