3-Ingredient Crockpot Pork Recipe Tips

There is no need to pre-sear the pork.
If all you can find is a bone-in pork butt, that is fine. When the cooking time is done, the bone will be easy to remove and discard.
My favorite way to serve 3-Ingredient Crockpot Pork is on a bun with some creamy, sweet slaw. Delicious! This is a great coleslaw recipe for serving with pulled pork- Buttermilk Coleslaw.
You should get 8 servings or so of pulled pork, so you’ll most likely have plenty left over for a second meal. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for at least 3 days.
This is a great recipe to cook when you are going to be gone from the house all day. There is virtually no risk in overcooking a pork butt.

Use your favorite bottle of barbecue sauce and you can use Dr. Pepper or even root beer instead of coke.

Whichever you choose, this is a delightful meal for a busy December day! Leaves you more time for shopping and baking cookies. 🙂

Note: as with any crockpot pork, the sauce tends to get a little watery. If you like lots of thick barbecue sauce on your pork, have an extra jar of barbecue sauce on hand and add some just before serving.
