Crock Pot Pulled BBQ Pork Recipe

Pulled Pork and Baked Beans

Robin Vinci
Pulled pork is one of my favorite foods, but making it has always been a chore. That is until I found a crock pot recipe. I made a minor few adjustments and came up with one of my favorite meals. Now, making pulled pork is almost as easy as any other crock pot meal.

Easy Best Ever Pulled BBQ Pork

3-4 lbs boneless pork ribs

24 ounces beef broth, can or bouillon cubes work

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

3 pounds boneless pork ribs

1 bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce

3 tablespoons brown sugar

Pour beef broth and garlic (I use it right from a jar) into slow cooker, and add boneless pork ribs. Cook on high heat for 4 to 6 hours. If you are gone all day, you can cook it on low 8-10 hours. Check to see that pork is tender and slightly falling apart.

Remove meat and let it cool for about an hour. Using two forks shred the pork into pieces. It may take a short while to get the hang of it but it will shred. The process is slow so if you have someone else around, let them shred as well.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the shredded pork in a baking pan with a lid or any type of cover. You do not want it to get dry.

Mix ¾ or more of a 14 ounce jar barbeque sauce and sugar together. Mix it in the ribs coating thoroughly. If you like more sauce, add more. I found ¾ of a jar is plenty for me. Start off small and see how much works for you. If you use too much it can be overwhelming.

Then, bake the shredded pork in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until it is hot. Let it cool a few minutes. Serve with your favorite bread. You can also have baked beans or corn on the cob as a side dish.

This serves 4-6 people. If you want to serve more people just add 1/2 lb of pork per person. It is very filling.

Baked Beans for pulled pork

1 large can baked beans
4 slices cooked bacon
1 small onion, diced
1 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons yellow mustard

Crumble bacon and mix into beans. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. (If you prefer you can use last ¼ jar of BBQ sauce not used for pork instead of ketchup and mustard.) Bake in covered pot for ½ an hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit at the same time you bake the pulled pork.

Everything will be ready at the same time and you will have a meal any barbecue pork fan will love.

    Pulling pork can be a pain, no? I make mine in the crockpot, too-- I'll have to try your recipe, though, and those beans sound divine! :)
