CrockPot Barbecued Pulled Pork Recipe


Pulled Pork is a CrockPot recipe that most people make pretty often. 

This recipe uses sauces that are already in your fridge and pantry: ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to create a homemade melt in your mouth barbecue sauce.

Easy and delicious and will be a great addition to your next backyard or football party!

Well hello there!

I pulled myself away from the laptop this weekend to make some pork. 

This is some awesome barbecue pork. I didn't even know how much I wanted this or needed this until I made it.

And now? I have a new favorite, from scratch pulled pork recipe. Sure, there's some ketchup --- but even those guys they show on TV who stand and baste for hours and hours on Grill Masters use ketchup!!

So it's still from scratch. I promise.

:-)


This is a reader recipe from an anonymous commenter left on the original pork post----it sounded good, and was easy to throw together. 

I cooked it overnight, and then packaged up the food for family and friends. 

This recipe freezes super well after it's cooked and can also be assembled beforehand, then frozen all together in a ziplock for an easy Dump and Go freezer meal recipe.

:-)

The Ingredients.
serves 6 to 8, easily

these are the ingredients to make a homemade from scratch barbecued pulled pork in the crockpot slow cooker. Recipe from ayearofslowcooking.com



4 pounds boneless pork shoulder (sometimes called pork butt)
1 onion, sliced in rings
2 cups ketchup (a 24oz bottle seems to be exactly 2 cups. weird.)
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (I use gluten free)
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

The Directions.

Use a 6 quart crockpot

Trim meat, and place into your crockpot. Add sliced onion. 

Squeeze in 2 cups of ketchup, and then pour 1/2 cup warm water into the ketchup bottle and shake. 

Pour the ketchup-y water into your crock. 

Add vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, Tabasco and salt.

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until meat shreds easily with a fork.

Serve over rice, or make sandwiches on rolls or sliced bread.

The Verdict.

This smells so good while it's cooking. I decided to cook it overnight to serve guests for lunch and had a hard time sleeping the house smelled so good. 

#firstworldslowcookerproblems

We all loved this sauce combination -- it was zesty and tangy without being spicy. If you do like spice in your pork, you can easily add more Tobasco to your serving.

I love how an inexpensive piece of pork roast can feed an entire party!!

  1. Those lucky people to whom you gave the pork away? Are they going to give a verdict? Somehow, your posts just aren't the same without a verdict.

    And I hope they are honest, not just saying it's good because it was free food.

  4. Dude... wow. I'm going to mark this one as "to do." When I made bbq pork in the crock pot, I ended up using a LOT of bbq sauce from bubbas in NC, and it was good, but it lacked a certain punch. Now, I have seen the light. Awesome!

    I've done something similar with chicken breasts, because I don't eat pork or beef. Basically I just make up a rub, throw it all in the crock pot, and add about 1/2 C liquid smoke. Good stuff!

    A little Montgomery Inn bbq sauce, some cole slaw, and a bun, and you've got yourself a heckuva sandwich.

    I don't. I used Trader Joe's Organic ketchup, and there isn't any HFCS. I've heard that Heinz now has an organic that is also HFCS-free.

  23. I make boneless pork ribs w. bbq sauce in the crockpot all the time. It's the only way I like pork, well besides bacon. Anyway, it's so easy and good, you just can't go wrong! It does get a little dry in the microwave though if you don't pour some sauce over it before you zap it. Aww, I wish you could try it, it's sooo good!

    Have a great day!

    Pulled pork in the CrockPot is fantastic. I've done it quite a few times and it always turns out great. I highly recommend trying it the way I make it if you plan on having it for dinner. All I do is get 4 pound pork shoulder and place it in the Crock. Then I pour a can of root beer over. Cook it on low for 8 to 10 hours. Then I discard the liquid, shred the pork, and add one of the many barbecue sauces I have in the fridge. It's super easy to throw in the CrockPot on the way out the door in the morning.

    First - I love your blog! and have used many of the recipes.
    Second - I can hardly wait for your book, it will save me from trying to keep all the recipe sheets in order.
    Third - my pulled pork recipe is 1 envelope of each dry mix: ranch dressing, italian dressing, brown gravey plus a cup of liquid (beer, wine, chicken stock, water) over a 3# roast. I have tried this with pork, beef and turkey breast. The verdict - FABULOUS!

  48. I just want to preface this by saying I've tried other recipes here and they've been good....however this one, not so much. It's not that it was bad, but that it was kind of bland (yes, I added the tabasco). It just seems that it's missing something. Thanks for posting, though!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Made this for my family's dinner today, and it was SO good. Husband came in to drop off his empty plate before I'd even carried mine out of the kitchen, 3-year-old polished off every crumb, and even though mine was room temperature by the time I got to eat it, it was still great. I practically licked my plate. It's an hour later, and my husband is in the kitchen making me a plate of leftovers (of which this made a lot.) I've never made a pork roast, and I can't wait to do it again. I'd love to try to whip up something in the style of kalua pork!

    slight variation, I just made pulled pork for a party tomorrow. I used your brown sugar chicken recipe but doubled it for four pork loins. I added half an onion finely chopped and used apple cider vinegar. I made it today because I think things like this are always better the next day. My husband loved the chicken and thinks this pork is the best thing he ever tasted. He lived in N.C. for a while and says this is the way they make barbecue there. No tomato.
    PS I love your recipes the sweet and sour soup and chicken and brown rice are big favorites.

  53. I made this recipe this week, just like it reads.

    It was delicious! All three of my kids and my husband ate it with gusto, so that gets 5 stars on my scale. My picky 8yo DD (who occasionally claims to be a vegetarian to get out of eating her meat) took it in her lunch the next day.

    So easy, the house smelled great, and everyone went to bed with a full tummy and a smile on their face. Perfect when my husband came home after working all day in the rain.

    Thank you for this and all of your other wonderful recipes!

  54. Oh my goodness!

    SOOO YUMMY!

    I ate a little bit by itself and I enjoyed the tangy sweetness of it. However, I was in a spicy mood so I threw in a little sriracha and served over rice.

    (Oh, I altered the recipe a bit. We didn't have any worcestershire sauce, so I substituted a little bit more tabasco and a dollop of Saz's barbecue sauce - we're a gluten-free household as well)

    This was my first adventure with one of your recipes and I have to say...FANTASTIC! Thank you for posting this!

  55. hi. I am a major fan of yours.... but not so much on this one. :( I was soooo excited to try this recipe, and unfortunately, I felt let down when I ate it. First off- after 9 hours of cooking on low- I took out the pork, and the "sauce" was like water. I had to add corn starch to thicken it up. I too felt like something was missing. THere was no pizazz- or kick. :)

    Oh, and I followed it EXACTLY how the recipe calls for. Any suggestions???

  57. We served this at our son's birthday party this weekend along with the brisket. It was a huge hit! I had about 1/2 tsp of really really really old tobasco sauce, so it wasn't as spicey as it probably should have been but it was a great flavor.

    I also cooked it in a too-small pot since my brisket was in the bigger one, and so it took a bit longer to cook. Next time I'll put it in the big pot. Thanks!

    Just made this Sat night/Sunday morning. It woke me up around 3am the scent was so potent. I won't cook overnight again!

    It was DELICIOUS!!! Before I shredded the pork it seemed a bit on the runny side, but with everything shredded it seemed to be fine. Would absolutely make again (during the day).

  60. Hi Steph - one suggestion about the pork sandwich - serve it with slaw on the top and a couple of dashes of Texas Pete hot sauce. I'm from North Carolina and it's a sin here not to eat a BBQ sandwich without slaw. This looks good and I think I'll try it this week!

    Glad to see you are still blogging!!

    Steph,
    Made this today using a bone-in 7.5 lb. boneless butt pork roast without adding additional quantities of the remaining ingredients. The crockpot was full to the rim with all the liquids from the meat after 10 hours. I took it out and shredded it easily with two forks. It was moist and delicious!! Even got high compliments from my NC BBQ lovin' husband. Served it with sweet broccoli slaw. MMMMMM!
    Hope

  64. Hi Becky,
    there's no gluten. I use Lea Perrin's worcestershire sauce, and that's safe, as long as it was manufactured in the US.

    WOW! This recipe is awesome. I was a little nervous because it had a lot of juice in the crock. As it cooked and started to pull apart I let it mingle in the juices before I pulled it all out. This is definitely a keeper. I didn't have regular Tabasco so I used some green jalapeno sauce my hubby had and it came out great.

    I too tried this last night and found it to be kinda bland and watery. I shredded it, tasted, and liberally added more Tabasco and Wor. Sauce and let it sit more. Still, wasn't wowed. Took out the meat and added 2 T. of cornstarch to help thicken, so that was a bit better.

    Still, I was expecting more. The meat turned out fantastic, but didn't have the tang I was hoping for. I'm going to try the leftovers tonight and add some Country Bob's and Tabasco to it.

  71. Steph, first off let me just say that it's a shame you're allergic to pork - this recipe is awesome!

    I was a little concerned about how it would taste, since some people commented that it was bland, etc. We didn't think that at all, honestly I'm kind of surprised how much we did like it! Next time we are going to add 1/3 cup AC vinegar though for a little extra kick, along with some liquid smoke and a jalapeno. Mmm mmm!!

    I've never made bbq pork before, ever, so a big thanks for posting this recipe! :)

  72. I just came to your blog via one of my favorite quilting blogs. You know how that works: make dinner in the Crock Pot then you have more time to sew. SInce then, I have been busily sending EVERYONE I know a link, especially those friends I work with.

    I tried the Pulled Pork this weekend. Hoily cow (or should I say Holy pig?), it was delicious. Smelled insanely good. Served it with home-made mac & cheese. The only change I made was to saute the onions first -- I just like the flavor of the onions better when I do that.

    I plan on working my way through the rest of your dishes. Keep up the good work!

  78. Ok, wow. I did this recipe with 3.5# of chicken breast (fat removed), and replaced 1/4 cup of catsup with the same amount of apple vinegar. I also took the cover off for an hour or so near the end to make it thicker. EXCELLENT as a sandwich on jalapeno-cheddar bread, served with a cashew-raisin salad. Usually I go direct to freezing the leftovers, but doubtless we'll both want sandwiches tomorrow.

    Next time I will see if the store has sugar-free catsup, because 20 oz. is still quite a bit. I got 13 sandwiches worth of meat out of this (which is 50 cal of catsup per sandwich(!)), at about 75 cents per serving. Each serving is 170 calories and 2.3 grams of fat.

    I may have a solution as to why some people got too much liquid and thus a watered down flavor. I made this for my husbands office. I started it overnight and the meat was up to the top of my crockpot.
    Well the juices from the meat overflowed so I had to move some of the meat to another crockpot. I only moved the meat and then added some of the left over sauce recipe I couldn't fit in the original pot and that 2nd pot had awesome flavor but the original crockpot was alot less flavorful.
    I am guessing the amount of water content in the pork might be the reason why some posts got a watered down flavor. I think not adding all the sauce recipe at the beginning of the cooking might help so if you have alot of juice from your pork mid way, you can drain it off and then add the other part of the sauce recipe.
    Otherwise I got great reviews from my husbands office.
    To fix the original pot of meat (less flavorful one) I just made a little more of the sauce recipe, mixed both pots together after I drained most of the juice from the original crockpot. tasted great! THANKS!

    Thank you for putting all these recipes down. I am not a true crockpot person, but I am becoming one little by little. This site is my go-to place whenever I am planning to crockpot. I am telling everyone I know about your site. I tried the BBQ pork with some adaptations. I didn't have enough ketchup, so I used some salsa. Everyone really loved it. It was a giant pork roast. We don't have to worry about sandwiches or whatever for a couple of days. Thank you!

  82. Mmmm!!! I used regular white vinegar since I had no other vinegars on hand and it turned out great! I didn't have any problems with blandness, although next time I'll add more hot sauce, and I did crank it up to high for about half an hour with the lid off at the end. Now I have pulled pork for lunch tomorrow--cue coworker envy!

    ReplyDelete
  83. YUM! This turned out really well. I also used white vinegar since I was out of the apple cider variety and it was still good. May daughters told me the house "smells like a restaurant" - very tasty and tangy with a lot of sauce - no need for additional bbq sauce, which I've needed using other recipes. Thanks!

  86. I followed this recipe exactly except for the fact that I cut it in half and used chicken (boneless skinless thighs) and it was DELICIOUS. After 8 hours I didn't think it tasted quite right, but then I stirred it, broke up the chicken and left it in for another hour or so. Eventually it tasted like pulled pork from a barbecue place!

    Wow..really late to this post. Very much like my basic Pulled Pork before I starting experimenting. There doesn't seem to be a way to ruin this dish. The 24oz. of Ketchup is the measure of weight and the measuring cups are 8 ounce measures of volume, thus the 24 oz of ketchup fitting into 2-8 oz measuring cups. Common mistake. Cook on ! :D

  91. I love how you tell us to add the water to the empty ketchup bottle. This is a tip that us home cooks really appreciate instead of having to figure it out for ourselves after cooking the recipe a couple times! I might be making this for my daughter's 2nd birthday party coming up next month. Thank you!!!
