Oh my goodness it’s been a while since my mom has been here to share a recipe, but we are back today! She is so excited to be sharing her homemade BBQ sauce + pulled pork recipe with you all today- this is a summertime staple around here! With the weather slowly starting to warm up, we thought this would be a fun option to share! It’s incredibly easy (hello slow cooker!) and the sauce comes together in minutes. We like to make BBQ sliders or add on top of nachos!
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Homemade BBQ Sauce
Pulled Pork
- 3lbs boneless pork shoulder, pork butt, or pork sirloin roast
- 1tsp kosher salt
- pepper to taste
- 2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tsp liquid smoke
- 3 cup homemade BBQ sauce (recipe below)
Slow Cooker Directions:
- Cut roast into 4 large pieces, put into crock pot. Add broth, liquid smoke, and salt and pepper .
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours
- Remove from pot (leave 1/4 cup broth)
- Shred pork and put back in pot. Add BBQ Sauce
- Heat thru and serve on buns
BBQ Sauce:
- 2 cups ketchup
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 1/4 cup brown sugarr
- 1 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 2 Tbsp salted butter
- 4 tsp hickory flavored liquid smoke
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked)
- 1/4 tsp celery seed
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cayenne

Directions: Mix wet ingredients in a large bowl and then add in spices. Heat in a saucepan over med-high heat until bubbling (will thicken). We add about 3 cups of sauce to the pulled pork – we freeze the rest of the sauce to use later!
I hope you all enjoy this recipe! Tonight, we are serving BBQ sliders with potato salad and slaw! Sometimes we will serve this BBQ pulled pork over nachos and it so so good! As always, my mom and I love seeing your tags on IG, so feel free to tag us whenever you’re making one of her recipes! XO- Alexa and Nina
