SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK
If you've spent any time on Pinterest or food blogs, you've likely come across a recipe for three-ingredient barbecue pulled pork that can be made in the slow cooker. Methods and ingredients vary, but the recipe almost always calls for boneless pork shoulder, some sort of dark cola (usually Dr Pepper or root beer) and barbecue sauce. Dubious? We were too, so we asked the members of our NYT Cooking Community Facebook page if anyone had ever made it and if they liked it. We received more than 150 very opinionated responses. Many readers have come up with their own clever twists, like using coffee or beer in place of cola, adding onions or chipotles, rubbing the meat with a spice blend and searing the meat before cooking. We tried cooking it a few different ways and found we liked this adaptation best. It calls for a few more ingredients and an extra step or two, but it's got layers of flavor and it's still mostly fuss-free. (You can find the pressure-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
- Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
- Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, a pork shoulder or butt roast is the best choice. These cuts are well-marbled and have a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
- Sear the pork before slow cooking: Searing the pork before slow cooking helps to develop a nice crust and lock in the juices. This step is optional, but it's worth the extra effort.
- Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to add flavor to the pork as it cooks. There are many different recipes for rubs available online or in cookbooks. Experiment until you find one that you like.
- Cook the pork on low and slow: The key to tender pulled pork is to cook it on low and slow. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the meat to become fall-apart tender.
- Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, it's time to shred it. You can use two forks to shred the meat, or you can use a meat shredder.
- Serve the pulled pork with your favorite BBQ sauce: Pulled pork is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of BBQ sauces. Choose a sauce that you like and enjoy.

Pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a backyard barbecue or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a mouthwatering pulled pork dinner on the table in no time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
