Ingredients

Cook Mode Cooking Mode Disabled

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 3-4 lb pork shoulder or pork butt
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• ¹⁄₂ cup chicken broth (or water)
• Sandwich buns (for serving)

Instructions

1. Place the pork roast in the crockpot.

2. Season the pork evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Pour BBQ sauce and chicken broth over the pork.

4. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the pork is very tender and easily shreds.

5. Remove the pork from the crockpot and shred with two forks.

6. Return the shredded pork to the crockpot and stir to coat in the sauce.

7. Serve warm on sandwich buns with extra BBQ sauce and your favorite toppings.

Note

Pork shoulder and pork butt both work great for pulled pork.

If the sauce feels too thin, remove the lid and cook on HIGH for 20–30 minutes to thicken.

This freezes well for future easy dinners.
