Ingredients

  • 3 pound boneless shoulder
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or other neutral-flavored oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Preparation

Slow cooker recipes are perfect for a busy lifestyle. This Crock Pot friendly pork roast recipe comes with a bold flavor kick. The easy chili powder rub is perfect for those looking for simplicity, and the slow cooked pork roast converts perfectly into delicious, flavorful pulled pork!

Line a 9- by 13-inch baking pan with foil and place the pork in the pan. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, salt, and cayenne. Rub the mixture over all sides of the meat, pressing it to adhere (if the meat is tied together with twine or netting, just rub the seasoning right over it). Set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the pork and brown on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the meat to a slow cooker.

Add the broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Add the broth to the slow cooker, cover, and cook until the pork is very tender, 6 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.

Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Use two forks to shred meat into bite-sized pieces. Moisten/season with cooking juices to taste.
