- Touch of ground ancho chile powder
- Dash of zesty ground black pepper
- Tender 4-pound boneless pork shoulder
- ½ cup of savory chicken broth
- Drop of optional liquid smoke flavoring

Step 1
Mix a delightful blend of smoky paprika, fragrant onion powder, savory salt, aromatic garlic powder, zesty chile powder, and bold black pepper in a charming small bowl. Gently massage this flavorful spice concoction all over the surface of the tender pork shoulder.
Step 2
Place the beautifully seasoned pork in the cozy embrace of a slow cooker. Pour in a generous amount of broth and a hint of liquid smoke to enhance the rich flavors.
Step 3
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and let the magic unfold as the pork slow-cooks to perfection, enveloped in a symphony of flavors, for a tender result in about 7 to 8 hours. Once done, lovingly remove the succulent pork from the slow cooker and delicately shred it into tantalizing pieces.
Step 4
Transfer the savory cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a charming 2-quart saucepan. Stir in your favorite barbecue sauce and let it simmer to a delightful boil over medium-high heat, stirring with care. Allow the liquid to reduce to a luscious glaze, which should take around 7 to 8 minutes. Pour this delightful sauce over the shredded pork, gently mixing it in to create a harmonious blend of flavors that will surely delight your taste buds.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Seal in the Flavor : Before storing your succulent slow cooker keto pulled pork, make sure to let it cool completely. This will help seal in the flavors and prevent it from drying out.
- 2. Portion Control : Separate the pulled pork into individual portions before storing to make it easier to reheat later. This also helps prevent you from having to defrost the entire batch at once.
