Best-Ever Crockpot Smoked Pulled Pork! | Simple to Make Slow Cooker Smoked BBQ Pork Roast Recipe

pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: pork loin

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Pork loin is leaner, while chicken thighs are often less expensive.

barbecue sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade barbecue sauce

💰Cheaper: ketchup + vinegar

Homemade sauce can reduce sugar and additives.

Spray the crockpot with cooking spray.

In a small mixing bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried mustard, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Add 1/3 cup of liquid smoke to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Place 3 to 4 lbs of boneless pork shoulder roast in the greased crockpot and poke it with a fork to allow juices to seep in.

Pour the mixed seasoning over the pork roast and rub it in thoroughly on both sides.

Optionally, add a little barbecue sauce on top of the pork roast for extra moisture.

Cover the crockpot and set it to low, cooking for 8 to 10 hours, or high for 5 to 6 hours.

After cooking, check the tenderness of the meat; it should be very tender.
