Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork

SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

PREP TIME: 10 MINS | COOK TIME: 8-10 HOURS

Adapted from: Melskitchencafe.com

INGREDIENTS:

3 to 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder (I’ve also used boneless pork loin – not tenderloin – but pork loin with good results)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon smoked Paprika
2 cups water
2 cups barbecue sauce

DIRECTIONS:

Rinse the pork shoulder and pat dry. Rub spices over the pork and place in a slow cooker. Add water. Cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours, until the pork is very tender.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker set aside 1 cup of the liquid and discard the remaining liquid. Shred the pork using a couple of forks. Place the meat back in the slow cooker along with the reserved liquid and barbecue sauce. Continue to cook for another 20-30 minutes until the pork is hot again. Serve on buns with extra barbecue sauce.
