• pulled pork:
• 1 (6 pound) pork butt/shoulder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

• 32 ounces of barbecue sauce + additional for drizzling
• grilled cheese sandwiches:
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2/3 cup beer
• 1/3 cup milk
• 6 ounces freshly grated white cheddar cheese
• 8 slices slices whole grain bread

Steps

1. for pork:
2. Optional but yields the best result: heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about 1-2 tablespoons olive oil. Sear the pork on every side (about 2-3 minutes per side) until golden brown before adding to the crockpot.
3. Add pork to crockpot with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Add beer and 24 ounces of barbecue sauce. Cook on low for 12 hours, tossing once or twice if desired. After 8 hours, shred pork with forks or kitchen tongs and add remaining barbecue sauce. Toss pork to coat and let sit for 20-30 minutes before serving to absorb everything. Remove bone (if bone-in) before serving.
