Slow Cooker Sweet BBQ Shredded Pork
These BBQ pork sandwiches are great to serve for a crowd!
I would not recommend making these for a party of two, unless we’re talking about a party of two lions or two elephants.
This recipe makes a lot, which is just perfect for a group gathering!
A perfect summer meal in the backyard or around the table with slices of watermelon, salad, cheesy potato casserole, and a cold glass of sweet tea or lemonade!
To make them even better, serve ’em up with these delicious spicy refrigerator pickles!
Slow Cooker Sweet BBQ Shredded Pork
Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs pork shoulder or pork tenderloin
- 1 12oz can dark soda (Root Beer, Coke, or Dr. Pepper are all fine)
- 1 18oz bottle Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce
Instructions
Notes
If your slow cooker is set on low, you will not overcook the pork if you leave it in for 8 hours, even if it's ready by 6 hours!
If you use pork tenderloin, your meat will be a bit leaner than the pork shoulder. It won't be quite as tender as the shoulder meat, but it will still taste perfectly fine and is a good option if you're looking for something a bit leaner.
