In our house we love to cook things low and slow! Nothing tastes better than tender pork cooked to perfection. The only problem is how much effort it can take.
That is unless you use our slow cooker recipe!
Perfect for the summer time, this pork has gotten many the compliment and pat on the back. It’s a go to recipe when I have a potluck. And it’s versatile! Shredded pork tacos? You are set! Barbecue sandwiches? Done!
We prefer to cook for about 14 hours – crazy, I know. But I have never met a more tender pork with such a basic recipe!
Stick it in your favorite slow cooker and let it stew. Here are a few of our favorites:
Ingredients
- 4 cups warm water
- 1TBS chicken bouillon
- 10lb bone in pork shoulder
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the warm water and chicken bouillon.
- Carve the pork shoulder – removing excess fat and removing most of the meat off of the bone. Cut meat into chunks to fit into slow cooker (about 3” squared pieces, they do not have to be uniform). Save the bone.
- Put half of the bouillon into the crockpot. Put all the meat into the crock pot. Put in the remaining half of the liquid. If there is room in the crockpot place the bone at the top to make a richer pork taste. If you can’t fit it in or don’t want that strong of a flavor, save the bone for soups!
- Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on high for 10 hours.
- Remove bone and use tongs or forks to break up the meat.** Cook on low for another 4 hours
- Use tongs to serve.
Notes
**If you are adding barbeque sauce, taco sauce, or any other sauces, add it at this step.
