Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches
This recipe for Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork sandwiches, will be your go to, easiest slow cooker recipe of all time. All you do in the morning is put the pork shoulder into the slow cooker, top with sweet baby rays bbq sauce, and a cup of water. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
I serve this pork on King’s Hawaiian sweet buns, and a packaged coleslaw kit. How easy is that? The amount of buns and bbq sauce you need depends on your size of roast and the amount of people you plan to serve. I made a 1.5 lb roast and it made about 8 sandwiches.

You can use any barbecue sauce for this recipe. I do it all the time. It’s one of m;y favorites.
Can you use Pork tenderloin? Or won’t they fall apart or shred??
It would work good and shred well. The tenderloin has less fat than the pork shoulder, so the flavor may be different.

Lindy, thank you so much for posting this on your blog! I’m glad you liked it! 🙂
The pork juices are good, take out h pork and shred….add bbq sauce to the juices and drizzle over the pork before you put on the Cole slaw….you can defat the juices by freezing for a while ….skim the fat and add bbq sauce. I hat up the sauce until I get the right consistency…..delicious either way!
