Love how simple this is. It works great in an instant pot as well. Thawed I cook it approx an hour (15-16 mins per pound), but I often forget to get it out of the freezer 2 days in advance so I cook it frozen for 1 hour 45 mins. It is so versatile because you pick the bbq sauce of your choice. I’ve made this and then froze the pork once shredded for a grad party. It worked out great the day of the party and with multiple flavors of bbq sauce everyone was happy. Using this recipe now from my daughter’s wedding in 3 weeks.
Very good! I made it exactly as written and the meat fell off the bone. Very tender. Easy & delicious!
I’ve made this several times, with delicious results every time. I was hesitant about adding coffee the first time. I shouldn’t have been. Add the coffee. The cut of meat is also important. Use the pork butt as suggested. The ONLY thing I change is length of time to cook. It could be my older crock pot, or just my preference,?but I generally leave it on for 12 hours.
This recipe was good, very easy. I used my instant pot to cook it in an hour. Added my bbq sauce to the pork and everyone loved it!
This is my go-to recipe, try it…
Darn good stuff.
What a simple slow cooker recipe. I used low sodium beef broth along with the coffee. I served this with the Bourbon Whiskey BBQ sauce. The extra pork I will use for Brunswick stew. Thanks!
This is now a “go to” family favorite that never fails. For the best flavor, use a pork roast with the bone in to get that extra goodness. On occasion will add a tablespoon of liquid smoke, but that’s up to personal preference. Besides the family dinner table, it’s an easy traveling dish for potlucks, funeral meals, feeding 4Hers, or little league groups.
This is my favorite pulled pork recipe and it’s so easy. I was a little hesitant at first but this is now my new go-to for pulled pork.
Fantastic! Will make again and won’t change a thing from the recipe.
This is so easy to prepare and delicious.
I’ve been making this for years, it is by far the easiest slow cooker pulled pork recipe. Today I made it in my Instant Pot, it was tender and juicy in 90 minutes.
This was an excellent roast!!!! I seasoned mine with sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, & onion powder and seared it first. Then added the broth and coffee in the crockpot. It was absolutely delicious without any extra BBQ or any other sauce.
This is the easiest pulled pork recipe ever! My husband smokes meat all the time but we like this just as much, and it’s great for vacations to the lake when the smoker isn’t available. Every time we make this we get compliments and people can’t believe how easy it is! I’ve shared this recipe many times. And kids seem to like this better than the smoked meat.
Perfection every time!
I followed the recipe except I added 1 tsp. Of liquid smoke at the beginning. It was a little bland but nothing that can’t be fixed by adding your own touches to it. All in all a pretty good basic recipe.
All I can say is yum. So good. I followed as written once cooked I shredded it, and put it back in the slow cooker spooned some of the broth back in crock so meat wouldn’t try, and but bbq sauce. So good made this about 4x already always a hit.
This is the best pulled pork I have ever made! I won’t use any other recipe!
I followed the recipe and it turned out fantastic! Very easy.
This was a good base recipe for me. I like a smoky flavor, so I added 2 Tbsp liquid smoke, 1Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1Tbsp each minced onion and minced garlic. I have an InstaPot pressure cooker, and I was on a time crunch, so I cooked it in my Pot. I sautéed it first, with salt & pepper, in a little olive oil, then poured in the liquid ingredients and spices. Since I had almost 10 lbs of meat, I cooked it on high pressure for 2 hours. So tender and juicy!!
Best ever! I used enough broth to cover the meat. Perfect.
