    This Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Recipe is the last one you'll ever need. The perfect way to feed a crowd.

    This Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwich is super easy and full of flavor, the perfect blend of spices. The creamy chipotle slaw puts this sandwich over the top like my slow cooker bbq chicken sandwich!

    Four how to steps. First one, pok butt fat side up on a baking sheet. Second one, pork butt with dijon mustard being brushed on. Step three, all the spices mixed together in a small bowl. Step four, spices being sprinkled on top of the mustard covered pork butt.

    Dijon mustard or any kind of mustard gives it that delicious tang and helps the spices adhere to the roast while it's cooking.

     

    What cut of pork for pulled pork?

    You want a cut that has some fat in it. You can do bone-in or boneless, whatever you can find. Any of these will work great.

    • Pork Butt
    • Picnic Roast
    • Shoulder Roast
    • Shoulder Butt Roast
    • Boston Butt

    Four how to steps. First one, sliced onions in the bottom of a slow cooker. Step two, spice covered pork butt placed into the slow cooker. Pork butt fully cooked in the slow cooker. Step four, pork butt that has been shredded. How long does it take to make slow cooker pulled pork?

    • Cook on high 5-6 hours
    • Cook on low 8-10 hours
    Four how to steps. Step one, sauce mixture in a small bowl with a spoon. Step two, coleslaw ingredients placed into a clear bowl. Step three, coleslaw ingredients with sauce mixture on top. Step four, the coleslaw fully mixed together in a bowl with a spoon.

    Chipotle Slaw is creamy and the perfect way to top the pulled pork sandwiches off.

    Broiling the pulled pork, in the end, isn't necessary, but gives it those little charred bits of heaven.

    Can I freeze pulled pork?

    Yes, it freezes beautifully. Place leftover pulled pork in a ziplock freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and heat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. I use this recipe for my Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese or to pile on my Pulled Pork Baked Potato!

    Ingredients
      

    • 5 pound pork butt
    • 1 medium white or yellow onion cut into slices
    • 1 jar barbecue sauce
    • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
    • 8 hamburger buns

    Dry Rub

    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
    • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

    Chipotle Slaw

    • 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon diced chipotle chile from 1 can of chipotles in adobo
    • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
    • 1 bag of Cole slaw
    • 5-6 green onions sliced
    • 1/8 cup chopped cilantro
    • Salt pepper

    Instructions
     

    • In a bowl mix all the dry rub spices and set aside
    • Rinse pork and pat dry with paper towels.
    • Rub the Dijon mustard all over the pork. Then rub the spice mixture over the pork until well coated. Place into a baking pan fat side up. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator overnight.
    • Place the sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the pork roast on top and add a 1/2 cup water and cook on low 8-10 hours.
    • Shred the pork using two forks in the juice. With tongs remove from slow cooker and place into a pan.
    • Leave the extra juice in the slow cooker to moisten the pork later. Toss with a little barbecue sauce. Place under broiler for 3-5 minutes to get some crispy bark goodness.

    For the Chipotle slaw

    • In a large bowl add the shredded cabbage, green onions, and cilantro
    • In a separate bowl whisk the mayo, chipotle chiles, and lime juice and pour over the cabbage. Toss to combine.
    • Pile the pulled pork on buns with the coleslaw and enjoy!

    Notes

    *Any type of mustard will work
    *Pork shoulder will also work
    *You can use 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder instead of chipotles in adobo sauce. If you use the chiptoles in the can place the leftovers in a ziplock bag and freeze for another use.

      I have this seasoned and sitting in fridge for tomorrow. We're having pulled pork sandwiches with homemade southern potato salad and homemade baked beans and for dessert homemade brownies with frosting. All for my husband of 30 years just because he's my sweetie. Thanks so so much for sharing.

      Not sure what happened there but it's been fixed 🙂 Yes, place a sliced onion on the bottom of the slow cooker.

      You can't taste the mustard it's just used to hold the seasoning on. Once it's all shredded and mixed with the juices and BBQ sauce you wouldn't even know it's there.

      Would someone who doesn’t like mustard still enjoy this recipe? Can I leave the mustard out?

    9. Wendie

      July 26, 2021 at 10:45 pm

      Yeah, you might have a little leftover you can just save it in a container for another use. It's great on grilled chicken also 🙂
