SUPER SIMPLE SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK



Super Simple Slow Cooker Pulled Pork image

This is wonderful for feeding a big crowd, and since the slow cooker does most of the work, you get to spend time with your friends! Use as much or as little of the BBQ sauce as you like, as some people like their BBQ dry and neat, while others like a big sloppy sandwich with a lot of sauce. Here's a tip: Save the cooking broth: you can add a little back to the pulled pork to thin the sauce if necessary, and it makes a great broth for soup!

THE EASIEST AND BEST BBQ PULLED PORK RECIPE (SLOW COOKER)



The easiest and best BBQ pulled pork recipe (slow cooker) image

I had trouble finding a recipe that didn't have a million ingredients but this one is amazing so thought I'd share!

Provided by lmcp1981

Time 10h2m

Yield Makes 12-16 floury baps - depending on size of joint.

Number Of Ingredients 3

Boneless pork shoulder with skin/fat on
1 carton of the cheapest concentrated apple juice
2 Jars of BBQ cooking sauce (asda Maple BBQ sauce is lovely)

Steps:

  • Stick the pork in the slow cooker, skin side up and pour over the carton of apple juice. The pork does not need to be completely cover by the juice.
  • Slow cook on low setting overnight - a good 10-12 hours if you can manage it.
  • Remove the pork from the cooker, take off and discard the hard skin and fat but keep the soft squishy fat.
  • Shred the pork with a fork and stir the pork and soft fat back into the slow cooker juice.
  • Stir in the BBQ sauce and cook on low for another hour or until ready to serve.
  • Serve with anything you fancy! I like to serve mine with floury baps, roasted Mediterranean vegetables, garlic roast potatoes, and creamy coleslaw. Delicious!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also called pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a lot of connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in tender, juicy meat.
  • Season the pork well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and other spices to flavor the pork. You can also add a rub made from brown sugar, chili powder, and cumin for a smoky, sweet flavor.
  • Cook the pork on low and slow: The key to tender pulled pork is to cook it on low heat for a long period of time. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the flavors to develop.
  • Add liquid to the slow cooker: Adding a little liquid to the slow cooker helps to keep the pork moist and prevents it from drying out. You can use water, broth, or even beer.
  • Shred the pork with two forks: Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces. This makes it easier to eat and allows the sauce to coat the meat more evenly.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker pulled pork is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights or weekend gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a tender, flavorful pulled pork that everyone will love. Serve it on buns with your favorite toppings, or use it in tacos, burritos, or sandwiches.
