Ingredients

Meat

  • 3 lbs pork shoulder (pork butt)

Spices

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Liquids

  • 1 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pork: Rub the pork shoulder evenly with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to ensure it is well seasoned.
  2. Set Up the Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the crockpot. Pour the chicken broth and sugar-free BBQ sauce evenly over the meat.
  3. Cook the Pork: Cover and cook on low heat for 10 hours to allow the pork to become tender and easily shreddable. Alternatively, cook on high for 5 hours if short on time.
  4. Shred the Meat: Once cooked, remove the pork from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the crockpot and mix it thoroughly with the remaining sauce for enhanced flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve the pulled pork hot, ideal for keto-friendly sandwiches, salads, or as a hearty main dish.

Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the BBQ sauce before cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork once shredded and simmer the sauce on the stovetop to reduce before mixing.
  • Use sugar-free BBQ sauce to keep this recipe keto-friendly and low in carbs.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially depending on the saltiness of your BBQ sauce and chicken broth.
