Crockpot Pulled Pork
The key to making great pulled pork is to get large meaty cuts of pork. It’s not at all a difficult dish to make, especially in a crockpot. So try to find the meatiest cuts you can. If you can get the more tender cuts, that’s great, but it’s not necessary because of the long slow cooking. Before you place it in the crock-pot, cut off the fat and chop it into smaller chunks. Add minced onion and your favorite barbecue sauce, turn on the crock-pot on low and let it cook for several hours (about six to eight).
