Favorite Crockpot Pulled pork recipe

Pulled pork is typically the picnic or Boston butt shoulder. I wouldn’t do tenderloin but that’s me.

Anywho… simple rub salt brown sugar pepper whatever conventional rub you have.

Sear first throw in onions and peppers lower heat add stock and simmer.

Get creative…add a beer whatever pineapple have fun. Make bold moves it’s very forgiving.

Not sure why you’re downvoted. Tenderloin can be done in the crock pot, but not as pulled pork. It’s more something like this.



I like pink in my pork, so with tenderloins I prefer to sear, bake or grill with a thermometer, and make a pan sauce from the seared fond.





If you try to cook tenderloin long enough for it to shred, it will be super dry and tough to chew. It will pull and may even be sitting in tons of liquid if you cooked it with liquid, but the meat itself will be dry.

Cut butt into several grapefruit sized chunks. Liberally apply rub. Toss in crock pot. No liquid is needed.

Take the pork out of the crock pot and pull apart. Skim off some of the fat from the top of the crock pot. On a heated Blackstone pour some of the rendered fat on the griddle and throw the pulled pork in the fat. Sprinkle on some more rub. Sugars in the rub will caramelize and little strings fat will crisp up. Every bit will have a crispy pork fat texture and pack a ton of bark flavor.

Cut up a Boston Butt into 2" chunnks, Season really well with whatever you wish, I use Richards Bar Be Cue Rub. Put your seasoned meat m in the crockpot, add 3 medium diced onions and 1 cup of water. Cook on high for 6-8 hours. Remove meat, let cool and shred. Add it back to liquid if you want or eat it as is.

Oh I agree butt is more flavorful and juicy.

I guess my point was I enjoy the loin being how low calorie and fat it is

Here are some ancient photos. I might do this if it is really cold outside. The result is a pretty good pulled pork sandwich. The downside is it takes about 6 hours to cook to pull apart tenderness. The upside is the how cheap the pork is, the smell and the taste on a cold winter evening.



















Your call on whether to cook this for company, but a perfectly acceptable Beer and BBQ for yourself, when it is too cold outside to mess with your smoker. You can also do this in the oven if crock pot cooking isn't your thing.

That is probably a Tyson pork roast, from Walmart. Works fine.

No liquid added to the crock pot. Cooked on high for maybe three hours and then reduced to low setting. Do not take the lid off for the first few hours.

You're probably conflating the cooking liquid with it being juicy meat. If you ate shredded lean pork loin side by side with pulled boston butt which cooked in its fat, you'd be able to tell the difference.

Nailed it.

Do tenderloins as puller pork in the crock pot all the time.
Just dump it in with a can of Dr. Pepper and cook till tender. Easy recipe and tastes great to me. Pulled Pork is more about the BBQ sauce you put on it anyway.

Season the pork butt with your favorite seasonings. Brown the outside and then place in the crock pot. Add a little water. Add pototes, onion, celery adding salt and pepper to each layer. Now stuff cabbage on top and cook until you can easily pull the pork. Serve as a stew with corn bread.
