For all of you lovers of BBQ I've got a recipe for you! Perfect for a family dinner that you know your kids will devour and equally as perfect for taking along to a pot luck, this Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork is quick and easy and comes out perfectly every time.

You only need 5 ingredients and less than 10 minutes to assemble this meal in your slow cooker. So much easier than smoking a grill all day and the results are just as amazing.

Ingredients Needed

  • pork shoulder, also known as pork butt - can be bone-in or boneless
  • herb and garlic seasoning (check the ingredients, if yours does not contain salt, add ½ teaspoon to recipe)
  • chicken broth or stock
  • apple cider vinegar
  • your favorite BBQ sauce (I love Sweet Baby Ray's because it has great flavor and is nice and thick)

Cooking Notes

This will produce a lot of liquid as it cooks, no need to add any extra other than the sauce

If you are cooking a very large piece of pork and need it to cook more quickly, you can cut it into 2-4 smaller chunks

If using a pork shoulder with bone, carefully remove all bone pieces before shredding

What temperature to cook pulled pork?

  • pulled pork, whether made in the oven, on the grill, or in the slow cooker, is best cooked on a low and slow temperature
  • somewhere in the range of 190 to 250 degrees F depending on the method used
  • another important temperature to note is the internal temp of the pork shoulder
  • to shred easily pork should reach an internal temperature of 205 degrees F(I use an Instant Read Thermometer)

When the pork is done it should almost be falling apart. Use tongs to remove it to a separate bowl.

Use forks or meat claws to shred by starting in the middle and pulling apart until fully shredded.

Use a ladle to add back a little of the juice left over from cooking, but not too much or it will become soggy.

If the pork does not shred easily, it likely is not cooked enough. Return to slow cooker until it reaches an internal temp of 205 degrees F.

  • Mac & Cheese

  • nachos

There are so many possibilities!

Do you let pork rest before pulling?

yes! It's really best to let it rest for 15-20 minutes to let the juices redistribute before cutting or pulling the meat. You can cover loosely with butcher paper or foil.
