Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Barbecue

Great make ahead dinner.

"I rubbed the roast, put in fridge over night, then seared in a fry pan to seal in juices. I added one cup broth and several good shakes of my favorite hot sauce to the crock pot before cooking. I then cooled it in the fridge again over night and removed the hard fats then shredded the meat, added the juices from the meat and the BBQ sauce, then reheated in the crock pot. This was FANTASTIC. A great hit at the picnic. Thank you for a great recipie!" - rjhalvor

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Barbecue Reviews
All 161 reviews

	Cut the recipe in half, added brown sugar and apple cider vinegar mixture like others have suggested and omitted the beef broth. Used jack Daniels hickory brown sugar BBQ sauce. BBQ turned out so moist, tasty, and addictive! Lmp0526 2 weeks, 15 hours, 46 minutes ago
	Absolutely delicious and easy. I followed one of the other reviewers suggestion and added 1/2 apple cider vinegar mixed with 1/2 brown sugar as liquid while cooking. Removed the juices before adding my BBQ sauce and hen added back in as necessary. Lala79 2 weeks, 1 days, 15 hours, 54 minutes ago
	jessi4395 2 weeks, 2 days, 14 hours, 49 minutes ago
	Way too good!!!! Definitely making again. Didn't do the brith since the slow cooker makes so much juice. I added 2 tbsp of teriyaki & 2 tbsp of honey. After I shredded the pork, I drained some of the juice, dumped the fat , & used the juice to mix with the BBQ sauce. To die for!!! mia1984 3 weeks, 1 days, 16 hours, 56 minutes ago
	Very good. Be sure to cook entire length. I cooked 3 hours short, internal temp was done, but was very hard to get off bone. 4thephil 1 months, 1 weeks, 20 hours, 49 minutes ago

	Very good and easy recipe. Didn't care for the beef broth so on my second batch replaced it with more BBQ sauce...very nice tasty recipe. MrBroc 1 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 2 hours, 33 minutes ago
	I made this for my step daughters birthday party last year and now is requested at family get togethers. For Christmas I even made homemade buns. This is by far the best shredded pork recipe I have tried. Thanks so much for sharing! dshrews3 1 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes ago

	Wow, this was fantastic! I used someone's suggestion of apple cider vinegar mixed with brown sugar to start the cooking off with. Once the meat was shredded, I emptied all the juice into a bowl. Put the shredded pork back into the cooker, mixed in sweet baby rays BBQ sauce and periodically added some of the juice as needed. Of all the recipes I've made on this site, this one got devoured the quickest! Kelikins 2 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 13 hours, 51 minutes ago

	I have tried this recipe & loved it, but 2 times I have made it we didnt care for it. Not sure what I am doing wrong?? marcieschlecht 2 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 18 hours, 32 minutes ago
	Turned out very greasy and rather bland. You need to find a very flavorful barbecue sauce to pair with. We did three separate crock pots, one with Sweet Baby Rays Original, one with Sticky Fingers Memphis Original, the last with Mrs. Griffins Original which is a mustard base. I I'd not add beef broth and glad I didn't, we would have been eating with spoon rather than on sandwich. Over all not bad the meat just lacks flavor of it's own. I would suggest marinating over night with some seasonings with a bit more kick to them. Chhleggett 3 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 19 hours, 47 minutes ago

	Totally amazing!!! We made it yesterday for my daughter's birthday party. We made it for 30 servings!!! Marinated it since Thursdays night then cook it in Friday night! Didn't use any beefbroth aweconnors 3 months, 4 weeks, 1 days, 17 hours, 56 minutes ago
	It was great I added mustard first before the dry rub and added a tbsp of brown sugar to the mix. A great hit I will be making it again. jose06kristen 4 months, 1 weeks, 10 hours, 42 minutes ago
	This recipe was wonderful! I also didn't add broth because everyone one skipped it! I froze 1/3 of shredded pork with no BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's Original was GREAT) and added about 1 cup of sauce to the 2/3 of pork. It came out a little greasy, but I guess that's to be expected.
