It is hard to believe summer break is nearly over. School starts in about 10 days here in the southwest. We are enjoying our last few days and spending lots of time outdoors. And when it comes to spending time out doors – I think of barbecue. I have created another great recipe and barbecue rub for pork. The rub can be used on any type of meat – but I created this one specifically for a pork butt. I intended to make a crock pot recipe that would not burn. So many recipes call for sugar – long hours in a crock pot often cause a burning effect.
So there is no sugar in this recipe. I sincerely hope you enjoy my latest creation.

- 5 pound bork butt roast

- 2 tablespoons salt

- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon red chile powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin

- Kansas City Bold & Smoky from Trader Joe's
- Organic Sriracha & Roasted Garlic from Trader Joe's
- Cattlemen's Carolina Tangy Gold
- and my kids love - Sweet Baby Ray's Original
- Place all the ingredients for the spice rub in small mixing bowl.
- Mix well.
- Generously rub pork with dry rub.
- Set crock pot on low.
- Place pork butt into crock pot and add 12 ounces dark beer.
- Cove and set timer for 12 hours.
- Once cooked allow pork to rest and cool at least 30 minutes.
- Drain any excess juices and discard.
- Shred pork with two forks.
- Add your favorite barbecue sauce and serve on a toasted bun.
- Top with dill pickles and caramelized onion.
- I like to add the barbecue sauce as needed in smaller batches. If serving a large group you can add the entire bottle as desired.
This recipe is perfect for the Keto Diet or someone on a low sugar diet. There is no added sugar in my barbecue rub recipe. Just watch the store bought barbecue sauce – they can be loaded with added sugars. For the caramelized onions: Slice the sweet onions and cooked them in a couple tablespoons of butter over medium high heat in a non-stick pan until they were deep golden brown. I recommend making them as the pork cools down – that gives you ample time. When feeding a large group you can add the entire bottle of barbecue sauce. If not I recommend adding it as you need it in small batches. The pork refrigerates well and can be used up to four days.

When it comes to slides you must have a good bun. I recommend a firmer bun so it doesn’t fall apart. When feeding just a small group grilling the bun with butter adds a nice touch. It is hard to do when feeding a small crowd. I also love buy the giant jar of dill pickles and putting it out for the kids. I do take a few and slice extra large slices for the sliders.
