Slow Cooker Pulled Teddy Pig

As always start with…
1 Onion chopped (This is like a theme with me I swear.)

1 6oz can of Tomato Paste (The Good stuff with herbs and such.)
1/2 cup Ketchup (Whatever is left in the bottle at the bottom of the refrigerator.)
1/3 cup Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup packed Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons of Paprika (The really Good stuff for this!)
2 Tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tablespoons of French’s Yellow Mustard (The cheap stuff whatever you have around.)
1 1/2 Teaspoons of Salt
1 1/2 Teaspoons of Black Pepper
A couple of dashes of your favorite hot sauce for luck.

In the slow cooker take everything above and mix it all together into a sauce.
DO NOT TASTE THIS CRAP IT SUCKS RIGHT NOW!

Now add in about 4 pounds of Pork Shoulder, or Pork Butt, or Pork Tenderloin
Anything piggy and roast like will do. Now roll it around in the uncooked sauce.

Just set the slow cooker for low and leave for at least 8 hours.

Now for extra credit when the meat is done pull it out before it falls completely apart and leave the lid off and let the sauce cook down till it looks more gravy like. Then serve it up on the side with the meat. This is optional but really tasty.

The sauce with all that Paprika changes while being cooked and comes out absolutely delicious. Which is why I told you to use really good Paprika. See, I am not stupid. Just do not try tasting this junk before it gets completely cooked or you will be wondering what the pig is smoking. Nasty!

Now Jason wants me to cook him up some of this sauce for use on the barbecue. I think I will try this recipe with 2 Tablespoons of Molasses next. That generally tends to punch up a sauce better than just Brown Sugar alone.
