For Sunday dinner I decided to make pulled pork and roasted potatoes. I use my Mom's pulled pork recipe (she calls it Debate BBQ), I'm not sure where she got it but it's my favorite. I know the recipe says boneless pork loin but I decided to try a bone in pork roast (I think it was pork butt). My Uncle was throwing a surprise birthday party for my Aunt's the following weekend and I wanted to make sure that the bone in meat would work because that's what I had on hand. I seared the meat before putting in the crock-pot and I personally think the meat had more flavor.

My notes
I use Stubbs Original BBQ sauce, Mom uses KC Masterpiece. I think Stubbs has a little more tartness to it compared to KC Masterpiece. I also don't measure the BBQ sauce, brown sugar or the Tabasco. I go by taste now because sometimes 18oz is too much BBQsauce and it's soupy. Sometimes 1/4C of brown sugar makes it too sweet. Just go by your taste buds.... they'll thank you. I also (as you can see) put onions in there, not to mention a couple cloves of crushed garlic.
