Tips and tricks to the Best Pulled Pork Use the right cut of meat.

I Made It Print. Full Nutrition. Reviews 28 Read More Reviews. Most helpful positive review Tony Greco. Rating: 5 stars. The only change I made was using shallots rather than garlic as some of our family members cannot tolerate garlic - also I seared the meat prior to placing in the crock pot and it came out perfect!

Highly recommended! Read More. Most helpful critical review fadano. Rating: 3 stars. For me, it turned out too sour, I think because the kind of BBQ sauce I used was already sour so the addition of vinegar was too much, but otherwise I liked it. I might add even more onion and garlic next time Read More.

Reviews: Most Helpful. Tony Greco. This is by far the best recipe for pulled pork. I followed the recipe exactly. A hint: mix all the liquid ingredients and spices in a bowl first, then pour over the pork. Made this exactly to the recipe and it came out fantastic. Simple and easy to create. Family is asking me to make this again soon Read More. Rating: 4 stars. This pulled pork is great. I used a pork butt and Stubb's BBQ sauce cooked it for 8 hours on low and it fell apart. I reserved the onions to use in the rolls.

The problem I had was that I could not get the sauce to thicken. Will try to get it thicker the next time. Great flavor. Will make again. Helen McKisson Marquis. I lived in Memphis for three years and this is pretty close! I use a sweet bottled sauce in the crockpot and I also had trouble getting it to thicken but the pork tastes great. Had a great result and will definately make this again.
