Steps:
- 1. Pour the can of beef broth into slow cooker and add boneless pork ribs. Cook on high heat for 4 to 8 hours, or until meat shreds easily. (I cook 8 hrs, because I put it on before work, even w/ frozen pork and it's done when I get home).
- 2. Remove meat from liquid. (I save the liquid for my homemade vegetable soup and put it in a bowl in the freezer) Using two forks, pull meat apart to shred it. It may not seem like it's working right away, but keep working at it and it will.
- 3. Stir in the entire bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce (I use sweet, but use whatever is your favorite). Cover and cook on high for another 30 minutes or until completely heated through. Fill hamburger buns.

Steps:
- Trim fat from roast. Cut roast, if necessary to fit into a 3 1/2 or 4 qt slow cooker. Season meat with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and cumin. Pour over meat in cooker.
- Cover and cook on low heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high heat setting 4 to 5 hours.
- Remove meat and discard liquid.

- Stir in 3 1/2 cups BBQ Sauce. Cover and cook on high for 30-45 minutes or until heated through.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut to use. It has a good amount of fat that will help keep the meat moist and tender during the long cooking time.
- Season the pork well: Before cooking, season the pork with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook the pork low and slow: The key to tender, juicy pulled pork is to cook it low and slow. This allows the connective tissue in the meat to break down, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Use a Crock-Pot: A Crock-Pot is a great way to cook pulled pork because it allows you to cook it for a long period of time without having to babysit it. Simply add the pork and your desired seasonings to the Crock-Pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the Crock-Pot and shred it using two forks. You can also use a meat shredder to make the process easier.
- Make the BBQ sauce: While the pork is cooking, make the BBQ sauce. There are many different recipes for BBQ sauce, so feel free to experiment until you find one that you like.
- Assemble the sandwiches: To assemble the sandwiches, simply place a scoop of pulled pork on a bun and top with BBQ sauce. You can also add coleslaw, pickles, or other desired toppings.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're serving it on sandwiches, tacos, or nachos, pulled pork is sure to be a hit. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make pulled pork in your Crock-Pot. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying meal, give pulled pork a try.
