Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 lb pork shoulder (or pork butt)
- 2 cups BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
Instructions
-
Prepare the pork:
- Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker. (You can trim excess fat if desired, but it helps keep the meat moist.)
-
Add the BBQ sauce:
- Pour BBQ sauce over the pork, covering it as evenly as possible.
-
Cook it low and slow:
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (or HIGH for 4–5 hours) until the pork is fork-tender.
-
Shred & mix:
- Use two forks to shred the pork directly in the slow cooker. Stir it into the sauce for extra flavor.
Notes
- Best cut of meat: Pork shoulder or pork butt is ideal for slow cooking due to its fat content, which keeps it juicy and flavorful.
- Oven option: Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 4–5 hours, covered, until tender.
- Flavor variations: Swap BBQ sauce for a vinegar-based sauce, mustard sauce, or even a simple broth for a different twist.
