Crock Pot Pulled Pork

My file of crock pot recipes has disappeared (hopefully only temporarily). I need an easy, few ingredient recipe for pulled pork to be served on hamburger buns.

Do you have a favorite recipe you would be willing to share.
The recipe I used to use had onions, and ingredients that came together into a bbq sauce. It was not too spicy or too sweet, but very flavorful.

Your suggestions will be appreciated.
  • If you Google "World's greatest pulled pork recipes" you get over 3 million hits. They are similar but still different, pick something and have a go at it. I have never tasted a bad pull pork sandwich, just some are better than others.
  • 8-10 lb pork butt

    sprinkle liquid smoke and kosher salt all over it....

    cook 12 hrs or so in a crock pot......

    Absolutely delicious..... we serve it over rice.....kids fight over it!!!!!!

    Enjoy!!!
  • Apple juice and BBQ seasoning and a little bit of liquid smoke 8 hours in crockpot. Shred the pork and mix with favorite BBQ sauce.being just 2 of us in use boneless pork loin and have plenty.
  • I keep it super simple and it turns out amazing everytime. Rub with your favorite BBQ rub and into the pot on low for at least 10hrs. I go till a fork slips in smoothly. No extra liquid added.

    I smoke butts all the time and when i am feeling lazy this is my go to. Gets very good reviews.
  • Couldn't be easier...
    1 Boston Butt, whatever size fits in your crock pot
    1 can of Sloppy Joe sauce
    Put in crock pot around breakfast time... Let 'er rip... Go fishing, hiking, or whatever. By dinner time, it's falling off the bone, and ready to pull. Bring along some hoagie rolls from the supermarket bakery and toast them over the camp fire for an extra special treat.

    Root Beer.

    Sounds crazy but works great. Pork shoulder in cooker, pour in a bunch of root beer. Cook as long as you like. Pour out rootbeer, add half a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays, give it another half hour, then pull!


    This is how I always cook my pulled pork. I do rub it with my favorite rub though too.

    I make it every year for my daughters Oktoberfest party. I started printing the recipe out to give to all the people wanting the recipe. Always a big hit and very simple to make
  • Older thread but the holidays are coming so my pork butt favorite.
    Local groceries often have pork butts under $1.00 a lb. !
    I have the butcher cut butt in half (no charge!) and I cook one cheek at a time and freeze one. :)
    I put in the crock pot at 8 am with fat side up topped with one large onion sliced and add a half bottle of Italian Dressing. Set temp 280-300* and it is ready about 5 pm.
    It is fall apart tender!
    Let left overs cool, put in fridge and the fat can be removed from the top easily.
    I have even froze portions for later meals.
  • Pulled Pork Sandwich sounds yummy. I saw a video on Youtube. I want to try cooking it soon.
