Slow Cooker Smoky Pulled Pork- a boston butt is slow cooked with spices, then shredded and mixed with bbq sauce. So easy to make in a crock pot, but tastes like it was made in a smoker.

Sear First For Best Flavor

Searing the pork before adding it to the crock pot adds a little extra flavor, but this step can be skipped for convenience.

Coat In Spices

The pork is coated in brown sugar, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Liquid smoke is added for some smoky flavor. If you want to add some heat, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Shreddeding The Pork

Boston Butt is a cut of meat with a great deal of fat. When you shred the pork, try to remove and discard any fatty areas.

How To Serve
I love to make a bbq sandwich with Buttermilk Coleslaw. Good sides are Spicy Bacon Baked Beans and Hush Puppies.

Smoky Pulled Pork Recipe Tips

You can use etiher bone-in or boneless Boston Butt. Boneless is preferable, but if you can’t find one, the bone can be easily removed at the end of cooking time.

Use your favorite BBQ sauce. If you want to add some spice, use a spicy BBQ sauce like Stubbs Spicy BBQ Sauce.

Storage

Leftovers will keep for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator or they can be frozen for up to two months.
