Tender Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
A versatile meat for a main course that let's your slow cooker do all the work.
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork shoulder or pork butt
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Season the pork with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings (garlic, onion powder, cayenne).
- Place it in the slow cooker
- Cover with the lid and cook on low for about 5-6 hours. The internal temperature should read about 200°F.
- When the pork is done cooking, remove it to a cutting board and let it sit for 20 minutes before shredding it. I like to use 2 forks to shred the meat.
- Transfer to a large bowl. Take 3-4 tablespoons of the leftover liquid to add to the pork and toss well.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
This pork will keep in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
The best way to reheat is with a skillet on a stovetop.
