When Sweet Baby Ray’s asks if you could create a game day recipe using their sauce you say HECK YES!

The recipe I created is Sweet Baby Ray’s Pulled Pork Chow Down. I am a huge Sweet Baby Ray’s Fan, but most people know this already. The crockpot and Sweet Baby’s Rays are best friends. You can put this sauce on just about any meat in your crockpot and it turns out incredible.

Are you ready for this recipe? This isn’t your typical game day recipe, this is like the mother of all game day recipes. I seasoned a pork shoulder, seared it, and placed it in my slow cooker. I added Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce, apple cider, onion, cilantro and jalapeño (exact recipe below under the photos).

I cooked this pork for 8 hours on LOW. I then shredded it up with two forks, right in the sauce. I cooked up a double batch of cornbread in the oven in a 9×13 pan. I served the Sweet Baby Ray’s Pulled Pork over the cut pieces of cornbread, topped with more sauce, sour cream, cheese, onion, jalapeño, and some cilantro for garnish. Your guests won’t be expecting such an awesome game-day meal. This meal reminds me of grub you would get off of a food truck!

      Can you make this on high instead of low? And if so, how long would you cook it?

        I would cook for 5-6 hours on high.

      I made the pulled pork with stuff I had lying around — leftover pork chops instead of pork shoulder, smoked paprika instead of jalapenos, and apple cider vinegar instead of apple cider. This is a great and easy recipe!
