Slow Cooker Pulled Pork (Oven Roasted Option)

Picture this: tender, juicy pork that you can shred with a fork. It’s the ultimate comfort food, and it’s perfect for everything from tacos to sandwiches. And the best part? You can let it simmer away while you binge-watch your favorite show!

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Before we get down to the good stuff, let’s talk ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

4-5 pounds of pork shoulder (the magical meat)
1 tablespoon of paprika (because life needs color)
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of onion powder
1 tablespoon of brown sugar (for that sweet touch)
1 tablespoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (for a little kick)
1 cup of barbecue sauce (the yummiest part)

Instructions:

First things first, let’s make that pork shoulder fabulous! Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. This is your spice blend, so feel free to dance while you mix.
Rub this glorious mixture all over your pork shoulder. Don’t skimp on the love here; really get in there like you’re giving it a deep tissue massage.
Place the seasoned pork into your slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce over the top like it’s a silky blanket of deliciousness.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. You could cook it longer if you really want to, but beware—it might start smelling too good to resist!
Once it’s done, take two forks and shred that tender pork to your heart’s content. Mix it back in with the sauce so it’s all happy and saucy.
Serve it up with buns, on a plate, or straight out of the slow cooker like a rebel. Enjoy your slow-cooked masterpiece!

Now you’re all set to impress your friends or devour the entire pot yourself! Go forth and conquer the culinary world, one pulled pork sandwich at a time!
