I absolutely love pulled pork. It is the perfect way to take cheap cuts of meat and turn them into something delicious and that will keep you filled up and warm for a long time.

Here in Wisconsin, it is currently in the negative digits outside, so I thought that I would throw together some pulled pork in my crockpot. I could have bought some at the store, but that is almost always packed full of sugar which will kick you right out of ketosis and you may be stuck going through keto flu to re-adapt and no one wants that. So instead, we make it at home with only a few key ingredients.

The most important thing you will need is a crockpot or slow cooker. When eating a keto diet, I have found nothing more helpful because there are just so many recipes you can make in one, and especially in bulk, which makes eating even easier since your meals are prepared already.

Now before we get into the ingredient list, you should know that you can make this pulled pork with almost any cut of pork you would like. My favorite to use is the pork shoulder because I can get one for close to $1 a pound.

Directions

Step 1: Cut all the pork shoulder off of the bone and put it in your slow cooker.

Step 2: Take a small bowl and combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, paprika, allspice, celery salt, and mustard powder. Mix it up completely.

Step 3: Rub this spice mixture all over the pork (make sure to get both sides!)

Step 4: Add the water to the pork. Cook for 6 hours on high, or 8-10 hours on low.

Step 5: Shred the pork apart with a fork. It should be falling apart by this point. Enjoy!

Step 6: If making the BBQ Sauce, remove the pork from the crockpot. Add all the Sauce ingredients and mix till smooth. Let cook on high for 10 minutes until the sauce is thickening and then add back the meat!
