Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
why its awesome
Oh, man. I love this super simple Crock Pot Easy Barbecue Pulled Pork recipe. There’s literally just nothing to it. It couldn’t be easier if we tried. I have another slow cooker pulled pork recipe, that I worked on especially for Mr. Gracious. His family is southern, and they like their meat vinegar-y and spicy. So this Slow Cooker Southern Pulled Pork recipe fulfills all of those requirements. But if you’re more of a Midwesterner barbecue eater, like my family, you’ll love this simple, sweet and tangy Crock Pot Barbecue Pulled Pork.
It’s one of those “throw the ingredients in the slow cooker and don’t think about it again until dinner time” recipes that everyone loves. Just remember buns for serving, and a big helping of cool, sweet coleslaw to finish off the meal.

Notes
- Want to make it plain? Just season with salt and pepper and omit the barbecue sauce. You can add 1/2-1 cup water or broth for more moisture.
- Cook it low and slow. Pulled pork is most tender and juicy if you cook it on low for a longer time (rather than cooking it at higher temps for shorter times). The pork tenderizes as it cooks, and juices are released.
- If you have an extra minute, brown the outside of the pork in a large skillet before cooking in the slow cooker. It’ll add a little extra flavor.
- Reheating Instructions: You can reheat your pork quickly in the microwave in a microwave-safe dish.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezer Directions: To freeze, allow to come to room temperature. Then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and follow reheating instructions.

I’m confused by the “1 ounce bottle barbecue sauce”. Should I put in an 18 ounce bottle of barbecue sauce with the roast just before I set the crockpot on low to cook?
Yes, I’m sorry! That’s a typo. A medium bottle, so about 15-18 ounces depending on the brand. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the heads up. Recipe all fixed!
I have a 9 pd. Pork roast, how long would that take in crock pot?
I would still say 8-10 hours. If it easily shreds, then it’s done. Or you can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer and make sure it’s at least 160-degrees F.
