The Best Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

PREP TIME: 15 MINS | COOK TIME: 8 HRS | TOTAL TIME: 8 HRS 15 MINS | SERVINGS: 12

I have been enjoying this slow cooker pulled pork recipe. It’s a very easy recipe that needs a little effort to pull together. The pork is coated in a homemade spice blend and cooked low and slow in the slow cooker. After hours of cooking you’ll end up with the best, melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork that you can use for sandwiches, tacos, salad, and more.

This tender and flavorful pulled pork is a staple at home. I can make this even with my busy schedule. All you need is a few simple ingredients and fifteen minutes of prep time. Dump the pork in your slow cooker and set it to cook all day.

INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp brown sugar

4 lbs pork shoulder

1 tsp garlic powder

2 tbsp paprika (for more of that smoked flavor, try smoked paprika)

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp onion powder

¼ c. apple cider vinegar

1 tsp kosher salt

¾ c. water

1 tsp pepper

How to make The Best Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Step 1: Combine the dried spice ingredients and rub them all over the pork.

Step 2: In the bottom of a slow cooker, pour in the vinegar and water. Add the pork carefully. Put the lid on and set to cook on low for 8 hours.

Step 3: Once the pork is cooked, take it out of the slow cooker and shred. Make sure to remove and discard any large fat pieces.

Step 4: Serve with the juices from the slow cooker. Enjoy!

NOTES:

For that extra kick, reserve a little of the seasoning to toss with the cooked pulled pork.

On a foil-lined baking sheet, place the shredded meat. Broil for a few minutes in the oven for that brown and crispy ends.

You can shred the meat using 2 forks, an electric mixer, a potato masher, or shredding claws.

Return the pork to the slow cooker and cook for a little longer if the meat is still difficult to shred.
