I lived in Wilmington, North Carolina for 5 years and I became a fan of Pulled Pork. This is different, very strong on the vinegar and a bit spicey side. I serve it with corn bread and coleslaw. Dauna ( Brad's step mom) makes the best fresh coleslaw so I am including that recipe too. In NC, you eat your pulled pork with the coleslaw on top but it is good on the side too. Don't forget the sweet tea, before you know it you will feel like you are back in the south.

5 lbs chopped pork shoulder roast

1 Tbsp red pepper flakes

Mix and pour ½ over meat in glass baking dish. Cook at 325 for 3-4 hrs, until meat falls apart. (I have done this in the oven or the crock pot) Strain from juice and pour remaining sauce over meat. (Shredded).

yummm!! Kelly, you are in the lead! :)
This all sounds so good! I just recently realized I like coleslaw. And I've made your cornbread "gluten free" and it works great!....well as great as gluten free can be :-)
what is a chopped shoulder roast? Is it chopped when you buy it? Do you chop it? Is that just what it's called?
Pork shoulder or picnic roast work, then I chop them up before I put it in the crock pot. Hope that makes sense.
My husband really likes coleslaw and I've never thought to make it, but I'm going to make it along with (this sounds weired) BBQ meatloaf. I'll let you know how it turns out! Think I'll make the corn bread too...yum
The coleslaw was a nice change. Easy to make and so crispy and light. I will make this again, esp. in the summer
