Beer B Que Boys

Fun recipe we tried out with the left over trimmings from a competition pork butt.

🔥 Beer B Que Boys Carnitas (Crockpot Method)

Taco-truck style carnitas with crispy edges.

Simple ingredients, big flavor, and a trick at the end that makes them taste like they came straight from a street taco stand.

Ingredients

• 1–2 lbs pork shoulder or pork butt, cubed
• AP rub (salt, pepper, garlic)
• Chipotle chili powder
• Cumin
• 1 whole onion, chopped
• Juice of 1 orange
• Juice of 1 lime
• ½ cup water
• 1–2 tbsp cooking oil
• 2 bay leaves
• Optional: ½ tsp Mexican oregano

For Serving

• Flour tortillas
• Diced white onion
• Fresh cilantro
• Crumbled cotija or queso fresco

Instructions
1. Season pork cubes with AP rub, chipotle chili powder, and cumin.
2. Heat oil in a skillet and brown the pork to build flavor.
3. Remove pork and cook chopped onion in the same pan to pick up the browned bits.
4. Add orange juice, lime juice, and water to deglaze the pan.
5. Place pork in the crockpot and add the bay leaves and optional Mexican oregano.
6. Pour the deglazed onion and citrus mixture over the pork.
7. Place the squeezed orange halves on top.
8. Cook on LOW for about 6 hours.
9. Remove pork and shred with two forks.
10. Spread on a sheet pan, drizzle with some cooking liquid, and broil until edges get crispy.

🔥 Mike Davis Tip

Broiling the shredded pork with a little cooking liquid gives you crispy taco-truck style edges while keeping the meat juicy.

Great event! Loved hearing our named called for a 3rd place win in Ribs! See you next year!

🏆 Bucka White Music Festival – Aberdeen, MS 🎶🔥

What a great weekend at the Bucka White Music Festival in Aberdeen! Our team, The Beer-B-Que Boys, had a blast cooking and competing in the rib contest — and we brought home 3rd place!

This event is one of our favorites every year because it doubles as our father-vs-son cook-off tradition. I managed to squeak past my dad this time, but as always, it was all in good fun (and a lot of good food).

Big thanks to the organizers, judges, and all the folks who stopped by to visit — nothing beats great BBQ, good music, and even better company. 🍖🎵👨‍👦

🍕🔥 Leftover BBQ Hack 🔥🍕

One of my favorite ways to use leftover barbecue is turning it into a flatbread pizza. This one’s with brisket, and it’s simple but packed with flavor:

👉 Toasted flatbread
👉 A layer of barbecue sauce
👉 Red onions
👉 Smoked corn
👉 Chopped brisket
👉 Shredded cheese
👉 Drizzle of more barbecue sauce on top

Pop it in the oven until it’s bubbly and golden, and you’ve got yourself a smoky, cheesy, barbecue pizza that hits the spot. Perfect for game day or just a quick weeknight dinner.

Time for Bessie the brisket to wake up! 

We’re signed up! Who’s in with us? The contest always runs smoother when everyone gets signed up!
