3 INGREDIENT PULLED PORK
This pulled pork could not be easier! I used a pork loin roast for this but you could used tenderloin. I trimmed off the huge slab of fat on the side but you don't have to. I also used about 16 oz of homemade BBQ instead of the bottled stuff. The pork turned out very tender! I served this on toasted hamburger buns with creamy slaw, pickles, and some hot sauce.

Steps:

- Drain away liquid and shred pork with fork.

3 INGREDIENT PULLED PORK IN THE CROCKPOT
Another 3 ingredient recipe. A yummy way to use up leftovers. Leftover pork roast braises all day in your crockpot for moist, rich pulled pork. The length of the shreds is determined by the thickness of the pork slices going in. Adjust thickness of slices to your preference. I usually slice 1" - 1 1/2" thick. Check the level of liquid towards the end of cooking. You don't want it to cook away. Add water or more V8 if necessary. You can use regular V8 if you wish.

3 INGREDIENT PULLED PORK BARBEQUE
Cooking the pork loin alone is too dry. Add country-style pork ribs in the slow cooker along with the pork loin to give it more moistness and flavor. Serve this pulled pork barbeque on top of a baked potato or on buns for a sandwich.

Steps:
- Stir 1 bottle barbeque sauce and dry onion soup mix together in the bottom of a large slow cooker crock. Place pork loin and ribs into the slow cooker.

- Debone ribs; discard bones and any fat. Shred meat from the ribs. Shred pork loin meat using two forks pulling them in opposite directions. Return all the shredded meat to the slow cooker. Pour 1 bottle barbeque sauce over the pork. Add a small amount of water to the sauce bottle, shake vigorously to get as much sauce from the bottle as possible, and pour into the slow cooker.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it is a tough, fatty cut that becomes tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
- Use a slow cooker or Dutch oven: A slow cooker or Dutch oven is the best way to cook pulled pork because it allows the meat to cook slowly and evenly.
- Add some liquid: Adding some liquid to the slow cooker or Dutch oven will help to keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out. You can use water, chicken broth, or apple cider vinegar.
- Season the pork well: Season the pork with a variety of spices and herbs to give it flavor. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
- Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This will usually take 8-10 hours on low in a slow cooker or 6-8 hours on low in a Dutch oven.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder.
- Serve the pulled pork: Serve the pulled pork on buns or tortillas with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.
