Tender & Juicy Crock Pot Pulled Pork Recipe
This easy Crock Pot pulled pork relies on a traditional, vinegar-heavy soak that tenderizes the meat overnight until it practically falls apart on its own. With just fifteen minutes of prep, you get incredibly juicy, pit-style shredded pork that is perfect for piling high onto soft rolls with a scoop of cool coleslaw!
Servings: 8 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 pork roast 5 pounds
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Put the pork roast in the slow cooker and add salt and pepper. Pour in the cider vinegar. Cover with lid and cook on low for 12 hours (I cook it overnight).
- Remove the pork roast from the crockpot and shred it with forks (this will be very easy).
- Drain juices from the slow cooker, reserving two cups of liquid. Return pulled pork to the slow cooker. To the reserved liquid add the brown sugar, hot sauce, and crushed pepper flakes. Stir well. Pour over shredded pork and place the lid back on the crockpot.
- Place on low or warm setting until ready to serve. Can be made ahead of time, refrigerated, and reheated in the microwave.
