There are few things on my list of things that I just cannot resist. Pulled pork is near the top! I don’t know if it’s the salty/briny-ness of it or the fact that I pretty much love any and all cuts of pork!
I know cooking pork intimidates a lot of people, but with only 4 ingredients to this Pulled Pork recipe, you really can’t mess it up. Plus, you are cooking it in a crock pot so it truly is a win win for everyone!
Since this recipe is completely simple, you can use it as a base for other recipes. The first night we just eat it along with some rice and a veg. The next night we turn it into BBQ sandwiches. AND if there is any BBQ left, we turn that into saucy and cheesy nachos!! I love recipes that can be turned into multiple meals.

*Sometimes a pork shoulder roast is also called a pork butt. It’s the exact same cut of pork.
*It may seem like a lot of salt…and it is. Pulled Pork is supposed to be on the salty side.
