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: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it's well-marbled and full of flavor. It's also relatively inexpensive.
- Brown the pork before cooking: Browning the pork in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker will help to develop its flavor and give it a nice crust.
- Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to add flavor to the pork. You can use a store-bought rub or make your own. Some popular ingredients for a pulled pork rub include brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the pork on low heat: Cooking the pork on low heat will help to make it tender and juicy. Cook the pork for at least 8 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Shred the pork before serving: Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces. You can serve the pulled pork immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a party or a casual family dinner. With a little planning, you can have a delicious meal that everyone will enjoy. By following these tips, you can make the best pulled pork you've ever tasted.
