I think I may have had pulled pork twice in my life, but I have really been craving it! I finally bought a pork butt at the store with the plan to make it in the slow-cooker. It ended up being super easy (definitely hit the spot with a toasted buttered roll) and I will definitely cook it again.
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Yummy pork goodness
Ingredients:
- 4-5 pound pork butt
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup ketchup or tomato paste
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
- Paprika
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- 1 bottle BBQ sauce
Directions:
- Mix in the slow-cooker, all the wet ingredients except the BBQ sauce
- In a small bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, enough to rub over all of the pork
- After rubbing down the pork, place it in the crock-pot on low for 5-8 hours, turning over once, half-way through
- After it has cooked, drain the liquid out and place the pork back in the slow-cooker (still on low)
- With two forks, shred the pork then add a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
- Stir thoroughly and serve on toasted buns, make lettuce wraps, tacos, nachos, or eat it by itself or as a salad topper
This was great the next day too. We have already eaten 5 sandwiches from the batch and we still have plenty left!
Yum! Pulled pork is one of my favorites! I like to eat it in a fresh cooked tortilla with cole slaw. I also cook mine in the slow cooker or on the smoker.
My husband loves coleslaw on his as well! My father in law makes a super yummy, more savory and less sweet smoked and BBQd pulled pork with homemade sauce that is great too.
Looks good! I always wanted to make pulled pork, but I don’t have a slow cooker. Is there a way to make it without one?
Yes- you can roast it in a roasting pan on low heat (225-300 degrees) for just as long (as long as the pork is falling apart and reading 170 degrees). I haven’t tried it in the oven, but I’ve seen lots of internet recipes for oven-roasted pulled pork. Let me know how it works out!
I tried your recipe and it turned out sooooo good!! I had no idea how much work to actually “pull the pork”. I learn something new every day!! I’m so happy that I ran across your blog. I have you on “my blog list” on my blog. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Thanks!!
Awesome! I’m so glad it came out for you!
