Try it on buns or served with sides or salad for an easy southern recipe.&nbsp;Within this post, you’ll learn how to make easy&nbsp;Carolina Style Slow Cooker Pulled Pork. Just a simple mixture of spices and liquids plus a slow cooker to make authentic Carolina pulled pork. You can even cook overnight or while you’re at work.&nbsp;Slow cooking is one of the easiest ways to make pulled pork. Simply add all ingredients, cover and cook. It’s guaranteed&nbsp;tender, moist and flavorful.&nbsp;It literally shreds apart with a simple pull of a fork. Carolina Style Pulled Pork is a quintessential summer or cool weather recipe, and you can make it any time in a slow cooker&nbsp;Most Carolina pulled pork recipes use the following ingredients. The key is to have a mixture of sweet and tangy flavors to compliment the pulled pork.The best cut of meat comes from the pork shoulder. It’s sometimes called pork shoulder butt or even Boston butt, however, is the same cut and does not actually come from the rear.Pro tip: You can use bone-in pork shoulder butt for more juiciness and flavor, however boneless is totally fine as well. I used boneless in this slow cooker pulled pork recipe.&nbsp;Pro tip: Start pork shoulder in the&nbsp;slow cooker during the morning. Set on low for 8-10 hours and come home to a warm, ready to eat dinner.&nbsp;Most slow cookers have a stay warm setting that goes on after cooking.After the pork has been cooked, remove from slow cooker but do not discard leftover liquid. Use a fork to press down on pork and break apart into flaky pieces. Then add pulled pork back to slow cooker and toss with liquid. This will infuse flavors into the meat and create an ideal moist consistency.This recipe is especially simple, but don’t let that fool you into thinking the taste is simple. Carolina Style Pulled Pork is a mixture of bold spices rubbed onto the roast. It’s then slow cooked, partially submerged in liquid to keep it moist and tender. Once cooked simply shred with a fork and serve.Flavor profiles: Meaty, savory, slightly sweet and delightfully tangy.Texture: Tender, moist, and pull-apart flaky.Dietary Options/Substitutions: Make sure your Worcestershire sauce and mustard is gluten-free. Omit brown sugar for low-carb and Keto pulled pork, however the flavor will be tangier.Leave a comment below and star rating if you made this recipe or want to share your thoughts.&nbsp;Are you following me on Pinterest, Instagram,&nbsp;Facebook, and&nbsp;Twitter?

Probably the best pulled pork I have ever had. It was so full of flavor and the meat was so moist! Def even better than some of the BBQ places we have gone to over the years!ReplyThis recipe is AMAZING coming from a Carolina girl! I’ve now made this twice, so easy and SO good! Thank you so muchReplyHi! I want to make this ahead of time, will it taste as good a day later, if I refrigerate and reheat?ReplyThis was fantastic! If I double the recipe, should I double everything (liquid and spices)? Thank you.ReplyThis roast looks amazingly delicious! I love using my slow cooker and this recipe is on my list for this week! Thanks for the share!ReplyMy slow cooker is my best friend in the kitchen and I’m always looking for new recipes to make in it. The sauce has the perfect balance of flavors and it’s so easy to make. This recipe is a keeper.ReplyThank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe! Will surely have this again! It’s really easy to make and it tasted so delicious! Highly recommended!ReplyI’m 50 years old and have made a handful of pulled pork recipes. This is hands down the best I’ve ever had….period! Needless to say, I will never make it any other way. I’m sharing this recipe with everyone I know. You rock Matthew!ReplyMy kids just LOVE this!I don’t even leave out the cayenne and they still demolish this.It makes such an easy dinner stuffed into soft bread rolls!Thanks for such a great recipe 🙂ReplyThis was a huge hit for game day! I love how easy it is. Makes great pulled pork slidersReplyMade this to take over to my in-laws. Everyone enjoyed it immensely. My father in law, who was born and raised in North Carolina, raved about it! Any worries about him just being overly kind or polite went out the window when he went back for seconds and then thirds. He’s since has asked both myself and my husband when I’m bringing it over again – no pressure, of course!ReplyHow spicy will it be I’m worried my 4 year will not eat it if it’s to spicy?Replyi have a 6lb pork butt do i double the ingredientsReplyI’ve never made pulled pork before, but I have eaten it. This recipe was very easy, and it is the best pulled pork I have ever had!! Thank you.ReplyIt’s in the crockpot now and can’t wait to have it. I’m from North Carolina but live in England now, so very excited!Just one question: do you discard the onions or do you shred them in with the pork?Thank you!ReplyWhy don’t you have to add barbecue sauce?ReplyCan I make this on the oven instead of a slow cooker? Any estimate what the cooking time would be for a 3 pound roast? Thanks.ReplyI make pulled pork every year for are family vacation. My recipe has a lot of cutting up the roast and cooking the ingredients before putting in the meat, and then cooking and stirring for 4 hours. I was trying to get away from making pulled pork and the family looked at me like I lost my head. I came across your crock pot recipe which had similar ingredients you mine. I have never done a rub before so that was fun. It was a welcome break from my cooking. I am excited to see if the family will notice the difference. It was very simple and I didn’t have to chop the meat up. We leave for vacation in a couple of days. Thank you for making this so easy!!ReplyHave a 7lb pork shoulder butt with bone in…..What are your changes to the crockpot time and the increases to the marinade? This looks amazing… have a larger crew to feed.ReplyReally yummy. I did all my prep work the night before . I let the dry rub sit on the meat overnight in the frig with the onions I cut up. Then all I had to do was drop it in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over the meat (I did add a little extra brown sugar to the sauce) turn it on low for 8 hours and WOW!! Delicious!!! So glad I found this recipe.ReplyI don’t have a slow cooker but I’ve thought about getting one for some time. What size of slow cooker would one need to do this pulled pork recipe? I’ve seen from 4qt to 8qt. There may be even larger ones. Any recommendations/guidance would be appreciated.ReplyWhat do you do with the onions. I’m from NC and there was never onion in the pulled pork. Do you discard after cooking or shred up with the pork?ReplyThey cooked down and were barley noticeable when I made it.ReplyLove pulled pork! I lived in the Carolina’s for quite a bit and have had my share of pulled pork. I got to say, You nailed it Matt! YUM!ReplyThis is an easy handsfree recipe. I love using my slow cooker. I am new to slow cooking and looking for any recipe to try out. I love this recipe already and can’t wait to try it. Between I always thought crockpot was a brand of slowcookers 🤷🏽‍♀️. Thanks for sharing this recipeReplyI love pulled pork. I’ve never made it in a slow cooker before, will be using this recipe next time.ReplyYes! The way pulled pork should be. My husband’s family is from Carolina and Tennessee, and this is pretty close to how we make it.ReplyI really liked how you have written a detailed post covering all the ifs and buts and pro tips about this recipe. These are going to be so handy when following your recipe.ReplySuch a great and easy way to do pulled pork in the slow cooker! I need to give it a go!ReplyI lived in southeast Virginia for 28 years. Moving back north, Carolina pulled pork is foreign. I have been looking for a recipe like this for years. So glad that I have. Going to buy the pork today. ThanksReplyI’m southeast Virginia too…. there are so many great BBQ joints around here though- not foreign! Try Dave’s, Malbon brothers, whitners, or beach bully. For real Carolina style I also love Uncle Als! That being said- I’ve got my butt in the crockpot now- so excited to see how it turns out.ReplyI got a new slow cooker for Christmas and this could well be THE recipe I’m going to christen it with! Sounds delicious!ReplyI made this and it was fabulous!!!! I was missing a few things but still it was a hit. I was wondering about the mustard called for. I used dijon but was wondering if the ground mustard was a powder or is the kind with the little seeds that is still a wet ingredient?ReplyIf you’re reading these comments &amp; debating making this recipe, wondering if it’s going to come out like “real” Carolina BBQ.All I can say is do it! Make this! It’s on par with some of the tastiest lowcountry BBQ I’ve had in SC.I will be making this often. Thank you for the awesome recipe!ReplyCould I use a pork loin for this?ReplyHi, what should I use to substitute the vinegar? I’m not fond of vinegar.ThanksReplyIf I were doing a 5lb roast instead of 2-3lb would I add more time?? I totally wasn’t thinking and got a really big roast by accident!!!ReplyThis is my go-to pulled pork recipe. It is absolutely delicious and such a refreshing change from the barbeque sauce laden options.Replyhello! i have been searching for a pulled pork recipe that isn’t a gooey bbq sauce base, and this one sounds so perfect. are there any substitutions that could be made for the brown mustard and ground mustard? neither are items i would have in the kitchen, nor would i be using them often for other recipes. would dijon work as a replacement? thanks!ReplyOh my goodness!!! .. my favorite!! I love the spice line-up, I dont normally use apple cider vinegar but I will definitely give that a try. Great recipe!ReplyMmm, you always make excellent slow cooker recipes. Nice work!ReplyHey guys! Thanks for stopping by my blog, I am happy we connected! I LOVE this recipe. Bill was shown how to make authentic Cuban Pulled Pork by an old cuban woman here in Tampa before she passed. In honor of her we made it once a week when we ran the restaurant at our local Little League. Bill is at the grocery store at the moment, I can’t wait to show him this recipe. She had us making two HUGE roasts in the oven all through the night, I am going to try that with this recipe and let you know how it works out. Can’t wait!! Thank You – With a BIG smile, from OffTheSidewalk in Tampa – Carlyn 🙂ReplyI love doing pulled pork in the slow cooker, it’s so easy and always comes out perfect. Your version looks delicious!ReplyMy husband is a nut for pulled pork and I know he is going to be raving over this recipe! Great pictures!! And I love that it’s in the slow cooker!!ReplyThis was wonderful! When I tried a bite of pork after it was cooked, I was a little disappointed because it wasn’t as flavorfull as I hoped it would be. After the pork was shredded and soaked up that delicious sauce, it was a different story! This pulled pork, some coleslaw and a little Texas Pete on a bun and I was in heaven!ReplyWe do love our pulled pork here in the Carolinas. It is one of our best regional foods! This looks yummy too!ReplyOh wow! I am drooling now! This looks and sounds so good! I will have to try this one for sure! Guaranteed to be a win with the hubby!ReplyAs a North Carolina native, I just say YES to this! Love some pulled pork and using a slow cooker is definitely the way to go! Perfectly tender and delicious!ReplyThe pulled pork sounds wonderful and full of flavor. Congratulations on getting a slow cooker, they are so nice to have. I loved your pictures.ReplyOMG, pack &amp; send here, pleeease!!!!ReplyThis looks awesome! I LOVE my slow cooker too! Nothing like coming home from work to a dinner already cooked!ReplyWow…for your first slow cooker recipe, it looks amazing! Have fun with it! 🙂ReplyNothing like a good pulled pork recipe. This one looks a m a z i n g – seriously. The color on the pork butt before it’s shredded is gorgeous and then aftermath….can I have some?!ReplySit down for this one… I have never cooked or even eaten pulled pork! Yes there is at least one of us out there and I have been meaning to try it for ages but it feels like summer dish to me with a bit of BBQ sauce on buns and forked through some salad with a nice dressing but the thought of slowly braising it in the oven is a massive turn off. Love the idea of chucking it in the slow cooker and not turning my kitchen into a sauna!ReplyYour Carolina style slow cooker pulled pork looks so tender with delicious spices. It has it all going on! I used to have a slow cooker when I lived in the States, but have not yet purchased one in Hong Kong. This recipe might have been the one that sends me to Fortress this weekend to get one.
