Pork isn’t something I’m very experienced cooking with. I grew up on mostly beef and chicken, so it’s not usually my first meat of choice. Buuuuut we recently got a whole pig so I figured it was time to start experimenting! For Thanksgiving this year I made a ham for the first time and it was so much better than I thought it would be! So I decided to try making pulled pork a few days later. It turned out soooo good! All of the flavors came together perfectly and it was nice and tender. I definitely will be adding this into our rotation of “go to” meals.

Combine garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and brown sugar.

Rub spices onto pork shoulder.

Sear both sides.

Add everything to a crockpot.

It should be so tender that you shouldn’t have to work very hard at shredding!

Serve on a sandwich or by itself!
