Here’s how I my super easy Pulled Pork recipe.
- Pork Shoulder Blade Roast, Pork Butt or Picnic (3-5 pounds)
- 8-10 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1 bottle (16 ounces) favorite BBQ sauce or your favorite homemade BBQ sauce
- 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.
- Allow the pork to rest about 5-10 minutes. Then, pull the pork into large pieces using two forks.
- Serve warm with remaining BBQ sauce.
- Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
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!

Robin,

Hi Michelle,
Here’s my Brunswick Stew recipe. I hope you enjoy it! My family loves it! Thanks!
Im just in awe that you got that bark and what looks kinda like a smoke ring in a slow cooker? Your pulling our leg! Do you ever use an electric pressure cooker? Im thinknig of doing this tomorrow in a pressure cooker
Thanks!
I make it according to this recipe all the time in my slow cooker. Use the ingredients and cook and low and slow like the recipe says, and it will turn out like this. Thanks!
So you cook it for 8-10 hours and then 4 more hours on warm? I just want to make sure I do it right 🙂 Also, which meat do you usually use out of the three options you gave?
Thank you so much!!
Hi Libby,
I do! That amount of time for the pork on warm really does the trick for the most tender pork I’ve ever cooked! I hope you enjoy it! As for the cut of the pork, I generally go with whatever my local grocer has at the moment. Being in a fairly small town, my grocery store doesn’t always have all three available. 🙂
Thank you so much for responding!! I can’t wait to try this! I have never commented here but I’ve been following you for years and I love your recipes! They are so easy to follow and delicious!! Thanks so much again 🙂
You are most welcome, Libby! I hope you enjoy this – I make it all the time and we love it!
