Easy slow cooker pork shoulder is excellent for making delicious pulled pork sandwiches or serving as an entree. Serve over rice or with Hawaiian sweet bread for a yummy little sandwich.

SLOW COOKER BEER PULLED PORK
My way of making pulled pork is simple: slow cooker, 1 can of beer, a 5 to 6 pound pork butt, seasonings, and a bottle of barbecue sauce. My beer choice is Shiner Bock®. My seasoning choices are salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. My barbecue sauce choice is Sweet Baby Ray's®.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or butt roast 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.
- Use a slow cooker with a lid that fits tightly: This will help to keep the moisture in the pork and prevent it from drying out.
- Sear the pork before cooking: Searing the pork in a skillet over high heat before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop flavor and give the pork a nice crust.
- Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker: The liquid will help to keep the pork moist and flavorful. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, apple juice, or even root beer.
- Cook the pork on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender: Cooking the pork on low heat will help to break down the connective tissue and make the meat tender.
- Shred the pork with two forks: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. You can also use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to shred the pork.
- Serve the pulled pork on buns, tortillas, or nachos: You can also use the pulled pork to make tacos, burritos, or sandwiches.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker pulled pork is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights or weekend gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a flavorful, tender pulled pork that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give slow cooker pulled pork a try. You won't be disappointed!
