Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Super Bowl Sunday was at my parents and I took a shot at making pulled pork. I've never made one, so I figured I would try it out in a slow cooker. I was taking a chance on bringing something new into my parents house. My mom will always try new things, but my dad is content with having some sort of pasta 3 times a day. When I got to my parents house on Sunday, my father asked what I brought. When I explained that I had made pulled pork, he turned my my uncle and said, "Questo e mangiare per Americane," which translates to this is American food. Well American food or not, my father, uncle and everyone else that was there really enjoyed the flavor in the pulled pork. Not much was leftover!

I wanted to use a Boston Butt, but ended up with a picnic shoulder.





  1. Quarter one of the onions and place it inside the slow cooker.
  2. Rub the pork with Denny Mike's Sublime Swine Rub and place it in the cooker
  3. Quarter the other onion and place it on top of the pork.
  4. Pour the beer over the pork and set it on low for 12 hours.
  5. After the 12 hours, take the pork and set it on a cutting board. You should be able to peel the chunks of fat off the pork. With a fork, shred the pork and set aside.
  6. Pour the liquid out of the slow cooker and transfer the pulled pork back to the crock pot.
  7. In a bowl, mix the BBQ sauces. I added the Hot & Nasty because I love spicy food. I didn't want to add to much, in case we had a bunch of whiners. Once it's mixed, add it to the pulled pork and mix thoroughly.
  8. Cook on low for another 4 hours, and enjoy!
