Incredible Pulled Pork Recipe

Looking for an easy, protein-packed meal that practically cooks itself? This pulled pork recipe is simple, delicious, and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs pork picnic (shoulder or butt)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite low-sugar or high-protein variety for a healthier twist!)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients:
    Rinse the pork and pat it dry. Salt generously, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight for deeper flavor). Meanwhile, chop the onion.

  2. Cook:
    Place the pork, chopped onion, and BBQ sauce into your Crock Pot. Set it to Low and cook for 8 hours until tender and easily shredded.

  3. Shred & Serve:
    Use two forks or spoons to shred the pork directly in the Crock Pot. Stir to coat the pork in the sauce and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Optional Seasoning: Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to elevate the flavor. I had actually dry brined my pork picnic with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

This recipe is perfect for a busy schedule—set it and forget it! Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your high-protein meal!
