Ingredients

4 cloves garlic

2 onions, sliced thin 

1 jalapeño, sliced thin 

1/3 cup packed brown sugar 

2 tablespoons chili powder 

1 tablespoon kosher salt 

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 

One 3-pound boneless pork shoulder roast (pork butt) 

One 18-ounce bottle barbecue sauce 

Eight 2-ounce bags corn chips 

Ranch dressing, for drizzling

1 cup fried onions 

2 green onions, sliced thin 

Directions

Special equipment:
a 6-quart slow cooker
  1. Add the garlic, onions and jalapeño to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Mix the brown sugar, chili powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Coat the pork shoulder in the seasoning mix and add to the slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce around the pork and cover with the lid. Cook on high until the pork is fork-tender, about 6 hours.
  3. Once finished, shred the meat using 2 forks. Toss in the sauce from the slow cooker to coat and leave on warm.
  4. Serve by slicing the corn chip bags open lengthwise. Pile in some of the BBQ pork, drizzle with the ranch and sprinkle over the fried onions and green onions. Serve immediately.

Had I read the directions, this would have been better for me. I cooked it on medium for 6 hours and it wasn’t shreddable. Now simmering on the stovetop to help it out. Flavor is very good.
