4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is one of the most rewarding things you can make in a slow cooker, and also one of the most forgiving. It requires almost no skill, feeds a crowd for very little money, and the leftovers are arguably better than the first serving. The hands-on time is ten minutes. The oven does the rest.
What You Need
- 3 lb pork shoulder, also sold as pork butt
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tsp each garlic powder, paprika, and salt
How to Make It
- 1
Mix brown sugar and spices together. Pat the pork shoulder dry and rub the spice mixture all over, pressing it in.
- 2
Place pork in the slow cooker. Pour BBQ sauce over and around it. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 5 hours until the meat pulls apart easily when pressed with a fork.
- 3
Remove pork and shred with two forks, discarding large pieces of fat. Return the shredded meat to the cooker and stir into the juices. Serve on buns with coleslaw.
