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 meat: For pulled pork, a pork shoulder or pork butt is the best choice. For ribs, choose baby back ribs or spare ribs. For chicken, a whole chicken or chicken breasts can be used. For beef, a chuck roast or brisket is a good option.
- Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to enhance the flavor of the meat. Some popular spices and herbs to use in a rub include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
- Cook the meat on low and slow: Low and slow cooking is the best way to tenderize the meat and develop its flavor. Cook the meat on low for 8-10 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a barbecue sauce with a bold flavor: A good barbecue sauce will help to add sweetness, smokiness, and a bit of heat to the meat. Choose a sauce that you like the taste of, and that complements the flavor of the meat.
- Serve the meat with your favorite sides: Some popular sides to serve with barbecue include coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, and corn on the cob.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooker barbecue is a delicious and easy way to cook your favorite meats. By following these tips, you can make sure that your barbecue turns out perfect every time. So fire up your slow cooker and get cooking!
