Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork

Ahhh bbq pulled pork, let me count the ways I love thee…

1. in a brioche bun, smothered in monterey jack cheese with crunchy gherkins
2. tucked into soft tortillas, with jalapenos + homemade guacamole
3.  on pizza, with onions + sweet peppers
4. in pulled pork mac n cheese (you better believe this is happening soon!)

Ahem. My slow cooker’s been getting a little neglected lately. For somebody who spends approximately 70% of her free time in the kitchen, mine is pitifully small. This means that a lot of my kitchen gadgets (which, FYI, include a meat mincer – don’t ask – and an ice-cream machine) end up hidden away on top of the fridge.

Let’s be realistic though – the slow cooker is going to come in handy far more often than the ice-cream machine. I’d forgotten just how beautiful it is to shove a load of ingredients in it and then return home to a freshly cooked dinner with zero effort. Even better when said dinner is pulled pork!

This slow cooker bbq pulled pork recipe is one of my all time favourites. It requires minimal skill, time and effort yet produces something incredible. However you decide to eat yours, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

What’s your favourite way to serve bbq pulled pork – inspire me!

    Definitely pulled pork on a roll! The mac n cheese sounds good though and I saw someone with it on twitter. Somewhere in edinburgh was doing it I think.

    Pulled pork cant beat it, it is ultimate. This looks sooooo damn good. I feel your small kitchen woes its Edinburgh kitchens in general really, I can barely turn round in mine so like you all gadgets are stored away and often forgotten.

    Just bought a slow cooker (after about 5 years of wanting one!) and I’m currently slow cooking everything. Literally – every.thing.

    This is next on my ‘to do’ list. Looks so good!

    This looks amazing. Pulled pork isn’t somethung I’d ever considered attempting myself. Maybe I will have to invest in a slow cooker…

      I was surprised by how easy it is first time I tried! You could probably also do it in the oven/hob at a low temperature but I wouldn’t be sure of timings.
