Ingredients

• 1 (3-5 pound) Pork Shoulder Blade Roast, Pork Butt or Picnic
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or coconut aminos
• 2 cups barbeque sauce optional

Directions

1. Place pork into the slow cooker. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to the meat. Cook on low setting of slow cooker for 8-10 hours. Leave meat in the slow cooker on the “warm” setting for about 4 more hours or until the meat easily will pull with two forks. About an hour before your time has expired, add about ½ - ¾ of your BBQ sauce.
2. Allow the pork to rest about 5-10 minutes. Then, pull the pork into large pieces using two forks.
3. Serve warm with remaining BBQ sauce.

Notes

If the pork butt rendered a large amount of pan juices, drain some of the juices away before adding the BBQ sauce.

Make-Ahead:
Store any leftover pulled pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. 

Freezer Friendly:
Allow the pulled pork to cool and then store in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

If you are like my husband and sometimes prefer to not use BBQ sauce on your pulled pork, you might like this pork roast recipe instead. It uses a dry rub instead of the wet BBQ sauce. So many options!

Enjoy!
