Instructions
Step 1: Add the Pork
Place the pork butt directly into the slow cooker. No trimming or special preparation is necessary.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic powder until smooth.
Step 3: Cover the Pork
Pour the sauce evenly over the pork. Turn the pork once or twice so it becomes well coated with the sauce.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook:
LOW: 8–10 hours
HIGH: 5–6 hours
The pork is ready when it pulls apart easily with two forks.
Step 5: Shred the Pork
Transfer the pork to a large cutting board or platter. Shred it using two forks, then return the meat to the slow cooker and stir well so every piece is coated with the flavorful sauce.
Once the pork is perfectly tender, a few simple serving ideas and kitchen tips can make this comforting meal even more memorable.
