Savory Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork Recipe for Tender, Juicy Meat

This is one of those recipes you’ll reach for again and again because it’s incredibly simple: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork.

The recipe comes from my Aunt Heidi — our family is full of good cooks, and I love sharing their easy, reliable dishes. This pulled pork is a favorite because it’s flexible and forgiving.

Once the pork is cooked and shredded, you can serve it many ways. It freezes well for up to three months, so make a big batch to enjoy different meals later — sandwiches, wraps, or plated with sides.
