Pulled Pork

This crockpot pulled pork is a slow-cooked, melt-in-your-mouth dish made with juicy pork shoulder simmered in a tangy barbecue sauce. Perfect for sandwiches or paired with coleslaw, it's a crowd-pleaser with tangy flavor and makes a versatile dish that everyone will love!

Ingredients (serves 8-10):

• 4 lb. pork shoulder (also called pork butt)
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 cups barbecue sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp. paprika
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: sandwich buns, coleslaw for serving

Instructions:

1. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
2. Place the sliced onions in the bottom of the crockpot. Lay the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onions.
3. Pour the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce over the pork.
4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is incredibly tender and easily falls apart.
5. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it. Skim any excess fat from the sauce in the slow cooker.
6. Add the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, stirring it into the sauce to fully coat.
7. Pile the pulled pork onto sandwich buns or serve alongside coleslaw for a classic pairing.
