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.

    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!


    ^x2 Only thing I do different is rub the meat down the night before. Quick, delicious, and easy as could be without the hassle of monitoring a smoker all day !

    Can you get Sweet Baby Ray barbecue sauce where you live, Lyn? I use that and sliced onions for pork chops in the crock pot.


    Yes, we can buy Sweet Baby Ray's sauce. Above poster mentioned Campbell pulled pork seasoning in a bag - that I have not seen in our stores.

    Every recipe sounds delicious - well maybe not the cherry coke one - but
    now I must pick one.


    Enjoy! You've made me hungry. We're halfway through a 10-week trip and I think it's time to get out my little crock pot and buy some pork this weekend.

  • 1 pork butt or shoulder
    1 20 oz bottle of Coke
    1 tablespoon of Liquid Smoke
    McCormick Pork Dry rub
    1 diced onion.

    Rub Pork Butt or shoulder with Dry rub the night before let set in refrigerator. In the morning cut up onion and place pork butt or shoulder and onion in crock pot pour the bottle of coke in the crock pot turn on low for 8-10 hours. After cooked warm up your favorite barbecue sauce and mix in after you have pulled the pork.

  • I use 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp crushed red pepper, 1 tsp black pepper mixed together and poured over roast. Cook 10 to 12 hours on low
  • I used to use a recipe that used a number of different seasonings mixed together for pretty darn good pulled pork in a slow cooker. Then I got lazy and just started using Campbell's pulled pork seasoning in a bag. For me, it comes out just a good as mixing all the seasonings together. I am sure a purist would not think so.

    If I get overly industrious, I may fire up the smoker and put the pork on the smoker for an hour or so after it has mostly finished cooking in the slow cooker.
