Crock Pot Pulled Pork Recipe
Description
This pulled pork recipe uses a boneless pork shoulder cooked in a crock pot with salt, black pepper, chopped onion, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and barbecue sauce. The pork slow-cooks over 8-10 hours until it is tender enough to shred easily. The combination of liquids infuses the meat with moisture and flavor, while the long cooking time breaks down connective tissue for a soft texture.
The shredded pork can be mixed with additional barbecue sauce to taste, lending a glossy, sticky coating with a mix of savory and tangy notes. Serving it on toasted hamburger buns highlights the contrast between the soft meat and the slightly crisp bread.
This dish is well-suited for casual meals, gatherings, or batch cooking. Leftover pulled pork freezes well and can be reheated for quick sandwiches or meals. Substituting pork loin is possible but will result in leaner meat with slightly different texture.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1/2 onion chopped, large
- 1 Tbsp black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup barbecue sauce we used Stubb's Sticky Sweet, your favorite
- 6-7 lbs pork shoulder boneless chuck roast
- 1 Tbsp garlic minced
- 20 Hamburger Bun we love to toast them
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a 6 quart crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- Shred.
- Stir in more bbq sauce if desired.
- Serve on toasted buns.
Notes
- You can substitute pork loin for pork shoulder, but expect a leaner result.
- Use meat on hand or choose cuts on sale to save cost without impacting slow cooker convenience.
- Freeze leftover pulled pork for easy future meals.
- Toast hamburger buns before serving for added texture contrast.
