Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

A great recipe to make a lunch, breakfast AND dinner for a 3-day weekend!

Pulled pork tacos, breakfast burritos, and sliders or sandwiches are all super simple with this delicious slow cooker recipe.

This recipe is a staple in our house. I love that I can just throw all the ingredients in and have dinner ready when we are done with a busy day on the ranch.

Ingredients

  • 1 Five Marys Pork Roast (Pork Leg Steak, Boston Shoulder Roast, Boston Butt Roast, Picnic Roast)
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion Quartered
  • A Few Cloves of Garlic
  • 1 Can of Ginger Beer or Cider
  • Five Marys Spice Rub or Sea Salt & Ground Pepper
  • Optional : Green Apple or Orange Quarters

Directions

  1. Allow pork roast to defrost in refrigerator (24-48 hours) or in a ziplock bag with cool running water for a few hours. *not entirely necessary, I’ve added frozen roast to the slow cooker and just cooked it a little longer!

  2. Remove pork roast from vac-seal bag and pat dry, then set in slow cooker and lightly cover in olive oil, sea salt and pepper

  3. Set slow cooker on low for 8 hours. (some slow cookers, high works fine too)

  4. Add quartered onions and some garlic cloves around the roast, pour a cider or beer over to 1-5 inches around roast (or barely covering the flatter leg roast)

  5. optional: add apple slices or orange quarters for flavor

  6. add Spice Rub or more salt and pepper on top

  7. hour before done - remove from slow cooker and pull apart meat in a dish or bowl. Remove bone and any excess fat. Return meat to slow cooker juices. Cook 1 more hour before serving.
