Ingredients

YOUR FAVORITE CLASEN’S BUN

¼ cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons Cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon chili

1 Tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

3-5 pounds pork shoulder roast (pork butt)

1 Onion, diced

1-2 bottles of good beer

1 bottle good barbecue sauce

______________________________________________________________

1. Stir together brown sugar, cider vinegar, chili, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne in a small bowl.

2. Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks. Rub the mixture all over the pork shoulder.

Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

3. Preheat oven to 300F

4. Over medium high heat, sear the pork pieces in a large pot until browned. Add onions and beer to the pot. Stir and deglaze all the browned chunks in the pot.

5. Cover with a lid and roast for about 4 hours, or until fork tender.

6. Remove the pork from the pot and set on a cutting board. Reduce the cooking liquid to about half. Pour in the barbecue sauce and heat.

7. Shred the meat with two forks or your hands. This is the point when you can remove any unwanted fat pieces. Toss meat in the barbecue sauce and season to your liking.
