How to Make Bbq Pulled Pork Crock Pot Recipe

  1. Place a crockpot liner in your slow cooker (optional, but makes cleanup a breeze).
  2. Add a 3-4 pound boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt) to the slow cooker.
  3. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar over the top and sides of the pork.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce over the pork, ensuring the bottom of the crockpot is lightly coated.
  5. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, until the pork is easily shredded.
  6. Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  7. Return some of the cooking juices (about 1/2 cup) to the shredded pork.
  8. Stir in your favorite BBQ sauce (about 1 cup, or to taste).
  9. Serve on buns, tacos, or enjoy as is!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
