How to Make the Best Pulled Pork Recipe in the Slow Cooker

To make our pulled pork in the slow cooker, add your pork, coconut aminos or Worcestershire sauce, and seasonings to the slow cooker in the morning before you head off to work or the day’s activities and you’ll be greeted with a dinner you can have on the table in a flash. I especially love to do this on busy weeknights or even busy weekends so that we have a hearty home cooked meal waiting on us in the evenings.

This slow cooker pulled pork is also perfect for serving on holidays, while tailgating or watching football games and really any time you want an easy, yet delicious and comforting meal to serve!

What to Serve with Pulled Pork

Classic pulled pork (at least in my neck of the woods) is served with sauce on the side, along with pickles and maybe potato chips. But, here are a few of the side dishes that I always love with my pulled pork, whether served as a platter or a pulled pork sandwich!

• Coleslaw – coleslaw is also a favorite topping for pulled porks sandwiches!
• Baked Beans
• Potato Salad

And for dessert, the Southern classic is to serve pulled pork with:

Cream Cheese Pound Cake or Lemon Pound Cake

Whenever I make it, I feel like my kitchen has turned into the most popular BBQ joint when I’m putting these babies on the table. And they are so easy to prepare, you’ll swear you’ll never eat them from a restaurant again.
