Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
Moist and delicious BBQ pulled pork made super easy in the crock pot. Simply add a few ingredients, and let it cook. You’ll come home to the delicious smells of dinner, perfect cooked with the slow roasted flavor that comes from hours cooking slowly in a flavorful barbecue sauce.
Ingredients:
3 1/2 to 4 lb pork roast, shoulder or butt work best
2 onions, sliced
1 cup Ginger Ale
dash of liquid smoke (optional)
1 – 18oz bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce
Directions:
- Place half of the sliced onions in the bottom of the crock pot.
- Place the pork roast on top of the onions and cover the meat with the remaining sliced onions; pour gingerale over the the roast. Cover; cook on LOW for approximately 10 to 12 hours or until the roast is tender and falls apart easily. You might want to turn it over about halfway through the cooking time. If you have a small crock pot, this will help it cook more evenly.
- Remove the pork roast from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. The liquid and onions can be discarded.
- Place the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, add BBQ sauce and stir to combine. Cook an additional 2 to 4 hours on LOW.
- Serve with buns and additional BBQ sauce on the side. Pulled pork is also delicious over white rice or you can use it to make an incredible BBQ pizza.
