Ingredients

Meat

  • 4 lbs pork shoulder

Produce

  • 1 onion, sliced

Liquids and Sauces

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the Pork: Generously season the 4 lbs pork shoulder with salt and pepper on all sides to enhance flavor during the slow cooking process.
  2. Prepare the Crockpot: Place the sliced onion at the bottom of the crockpot to create a flavorful bed for the pork to rest on.
  3. Add the Pork to Crockpot: Lay the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onions in the crockpot.
  4. Pour Liquids and Sauce: Pour 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce evenly over the pork to keep it moist and infuse it with barbecue flavor.
  5. Cook the Pork: Cover and cook on the low setting for 8 hours. This slow cooking will tenderize the pork until it easily shreds with a fork.
  6. Shred and Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Mix it with the cooking juices and serve on buns for delicious pulled pork sandwiches.
