McCormick Slow Cooker Barbecue Pulled Pork Seasoning Mix, 1.6 oz Box

this is easy to do and amazing! I didn't read the directions before my purchase, so was suprised to find I needed to add more than water. Specifically Apple cider vinegar, brown sugar (I used splenda brown sugar) and ketchup. I added about 2 cups of water too. It turned out AMAZING!

I used this for the first time and it makes a good sauce and nice flavor to the beef. I am sure you can also use it with pork. I was expecting a more bold, fuller flavor, but it turned out fine. I made a nice amount of sauce also as long as you don't cook it too long. I put it in a crock pot and by the end of the cooking time it was about perfect texture. I will use it again, next time with some pork.

If you cook a couple of times a week, then you probably already have the rest of the ingredients in your cabinet. You need apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, 2 lbs of beef or pork. I used pork because I love pork. I mixed everything together and it made a sweet, nice, thick mix to soak overnight. The mix smells so good that my husband kept waking up wanting to eat it. Think of the cartoons wear an awesome smell made someone fly through the air following the smell, that is what my husband acted like. The next day I turned the crock pot off. I had cooked it on low overnight for 8 hours. It was soo tender and had an excellent taste. It was not too sweet, not too bold, just perfect. I actually put the juices on top of the meat on my sandwich bun and it soaked through a little, but had the taste even juicer. We ate it with some potato chips and it was a prefect meal. I do recommend this mix for an excellent tasting meal. Easy to make and uses less dishes to wash from cooking. Everyone loved it!

McCormick Slow Cookers BBQ Pulled Pork seasoning - pretty good stuff. We made BBQ sliders and salad for Friday night DVD movies at home. Added all the stuff, except the meat & Peppers to the cockpot before going to bed Thursday night. In the morning added the meat and a few red & yellow pepper pieces to the mix. Set the crock pot timer and good to go. (Used Gourmet ketchup - not regular stuff. Also did not use 1/3 cup of vinegar, just a couple of tablespoons since the mean was cooking for 6-8 hours. For more flavor. added my own touch with 1 drop of Apple wood Liquid Smoke to the pot. ). The house smelled so good - who does not love BBQ! We made sliders from the pork. Added a big salad and dinner was ready in 20 minutes. Going to try this with chicken thighs next time on some Naan Flat Bread and Cilantro Cabbage Cole Slaw. I am big on "almost home made" since we all work and have other activities we do as a family. Anything to help keep us away from "fast food" is a plus for our health.

This review was written after I tested the Sweet and Smoky Pulled Chicken by McCormick (which I loved). Having made and tasted both w/in a week's time, I couldn't help but compare the two. We used pork country ribs for the meat and added the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar to the crockpot. As w/ other slow cooker recipes, this was very easy and then we let the slow cooker do the heavy lifting. I have to say that I am biased. I'm from Texas, I like my BBQ sweet. I've never been a big fan of the Carolina BBQ w/ it's vinegary tang. I know we probably could have left out the vinegar, but I wanted to follow the recipe the first time. I will leave out the vinegar next time. The meat was really tender and shredded nicely. I wasn't too pleased w/ the sauce though. I prefer a thicker sauce that coats and clings to the meat. I gotta say again, I'm not a fan of the vinegary BBQ sauce, so I'll recuse myself. The other adults and the kids enjoyed it. The kids said they would like to have it again. There will be a next time, b/c these Slow Cooker packets are tasty and affordable.
