I’m a huge fan of pulled pork (who isn’t really?) Succulent and tender, loaded with sweet and tangy flavor, it’s mmm… mmm…good!

Here in South Carolina you can pretty much find a BBQ joint that serves pulled pork on every corner. The problem with getting it at a restaurant is the sugar-laden BBQ sauce, which will knock you out of ketosis faster than you can say “Porky Pig.”

So what’s a low carbin’ BBQ lovin’ Yankee to do? Well you might think you need a smoker or other fancy equipment to make a decent pulled pork at home, but you’d be wrong. All you need is a crock pot, aka. slow cooker and you could be enjoying some keto-friendly pulled pork in just a few short hours.

It may not win you any fancy BBQ trophies over on the Food Network (or maybe it would), but trust me when I say that no one you serve it to is going to care whether it’s been slow smoked for 24 hours over reclaimed Noah’s Ark lumber that’s been cured with the tears of 1,000 Unicorns or not.

It’s luscious, and flavorful, and best of all, super easy!
