If you don't have all day to cook it, you can cut it into strips before you put it in there. If you cut it, it takes about 4 hours on high, if you leave it whole it can take 6 or more hours. If you are going to cut it into strips, cutting with the grain of the meat will give you a stringier end product, if you like that texture (I do).
Alright, so cook it until the meat is falling apart. Take the meat and put it in a bowl... like a mixing bowl or something, or the bowl you're going to store it in. Use two forks to shred the meat so there are no big chunks left, then pour in some bbq sauce. You might have to shop around for the kind with the least sugar. Mix it all up until it's as saucy as you want it, and serve
When I first started doing this, I was adding all of the bbq sauce to the crockpot, but it gets really watery that way and is not as flavorful. Now I take the meat from the crockpot and shred it and add the sauce and it's lots better. |
