Servings 10
Ingredients
- 5-6 pound pork shoulder
- ½ cup No sugar added BBQ sauce
- ½ yellow onion, sliced
- ¼ cup BBQ Spice Dry Rub
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- Optional Keto Buns, Coleslaw and more BBQ sauce for serving
Instructions
- Add the sliced onions and garlic to the insert of your slow cooker.
- Take your pork shoulder and trim off any excessive fat. You will want to leave some, and it should be well marbled, that’s what gives it flavor and keeps it juicy. Pat it dry with paper towels.
- Add the BBQ spice dry rub on all sides of the pork, rubbing it in so it sticks.
- Place the pork shoulder on top of the onions and garlic. Mix the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar together, then pour it over the top of the pork.
- Spread it over the sides, then cook it on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-9 hours, or until it’s fall apart tender.
- Once it’s cooked through, carefully remove the pork and set it on a cutting board. Also transfer the juices from the slow cooker and pour them into a bowl. Strain off the onions and garlic, and skim off the fat.
- Using 2 forks, shred the pork, and discard any fat. Put the pork back into the slow cooker.
- Then you can either pour about a cup of the juices and pour them over the pork or mix about ½ cup with another ½ cup of BBQ sauce, then pour the mixture over the pork. Allow to simmer for a few minutes to allow the shredded pork to absorb the flavors and serve when ready.
- If serving pulled pork sandwiches, add some of the pork to the bun of your choice and top with some classic coleslaw and enjoy.
