I don’t eat pork, unless it’s in an egg roll or as bacon. I never in my life cooked pork for dinner, and I will never order a pork chop at a restaurant. But since we’ve moved to North Carolina, I’ve become a fan of pulled pork. So of course, when my dad offered to make slow cooker beer pulled pork for our football party, I took him up on it.

I had no idea just how simple his recipe was. It’s three ingredients — one of which is beer. It’s only a cup of beer, which means you have to drink the rest. I mean, I guess you don’t have to, but no one wants to waste half a beer. That would be a party foul for sure!

Slow Cooker Beer Pulled Pork

What You’ll Need:

• 2 pounds pork shoulder
• 1 bottle BBQ sauce
• 1 cup beer

What You’ll Do:

Put everything in the slow cooker. Cook on low for eight hours or high for four hours.

The pork should be fork tender when it’s done, so you can use meat claws, tongs, or two forks to shred it.

We like to serve it on rolls with coleslaw.

You can choose any type of beer, but different beers will give you different flavors. I prefer a light lager, but you could go with a dark stout to give it a really rich flavor.

This is the perfect party recipe because it makes a ton and is always a crowd pleaser. Even people like me who don’t prefer pork love it. Plus, you can put it out and set your slow cooker to warm and your guests can help themselves during the game.
