This slow cooker pulled pork recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish, perfect for any occasion.
Slice one onion and place it at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Slicing the onion evenly ensures it cooks uniformly and flavors the pork.
Place the pork shoulder on top of the onion slices.
Positioning the pork on the onions prevents it from sticking to the slow cooker.
Pour the ginger ale over the pork and cover the slow cooker with its lid.
The ginger ale adds a subtle sweetness and helps tenderize the meat.
Cook on low heat for 10-12 hours until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Shredding the pork while it's warm makes the process easier.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, add the barbecue sauce, and stir to combine.
Mixing the sauce thoroughly ensures every piece of pork is coated.
Cook on low for an additional 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld.
This step enhances the flavor by allowing the sauce to infuse into the pork.
Serve the pulled pork on buns or rolls with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
Toasting the buns adds a delightful crunch to your sandwich.
