Crock pot Pulled Pork Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by seasoning a four-pound pork shoulder with brown sugar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper for a balanced sweet, savory, and mildly spicy profile. The meat is placed in the crock pot and layered with sliced white onions and barbecue sauce. Apple cider vinegar and chicken broth are poured over to keep the pork moist during the extended cooking process.
Cooking on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours breaks down the connective tissue, allowing the pork to become tender and easy to shred. The pulled pork can then be served on buns, or as a hearty topping over potatoes or rice, integrating smoky, tangy, and sweet flavors.

- 1 onion white, sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp garlic minced

- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Place the pork shoulder in the crock pot.

- Then top with the apple cider vinegar and the chicken broth.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the pork shreds easily.
