It's football season!! This is a great addition to a football
party. I made these using the little tiny buns/rolls - these
were about the size of White Castles. That way you get
at least 2 dozen. These are shredded pork very much
like Southern-style barbeque. I grew up on North Carolina
barbeque, and there is nothing like it. This is not that (as
it has tomato in it), but it's really good!
If you can't find hot paprika (and it's not easy), use regular
paprika and add jalapeno or more cayenne. This is spicy,
but if you like it really hot, add jalapeno.
I made it with
Big Jim chiles and did not use jalapeno.
I made this in a crock pot and cooked it for about 5 hours
on low.
