I’ve made this several times for my family or for work potlucks. It is one of those dump-it-and-go kinds of meals that are easy to prepare before work in the morning and are ready when you get home. I used pork shoulder roast for this crock pot pulled pork recipe, but you can use butt roast or tenderloin and still get great results.
Ingredients
3-4 pounds pork shoulder roast
2 small onions, sliced
1 12 oz. can ginger ale (about 1 ½ cups)
1 cup barbecue sauce, plus extra for serving
8 hamburger buns
Place 1 sliced onion in the bottom of the slow-cooker, and place the meat on top of the onion. Arrange the other sliced onion over the pork and pour in the ginger ale. Cook on low heat for 8 hours, then remove the meat and onions. Drain the liquid from the cooker and replace the pork and onions, pulling apart the pork with 2 forks.
Stir in the barbecue sauce. Continue to cook on high 1 hour. Serve on hamburger buns.
I never thought to use ginger ale!! This might be my first time ever hearing that. Usually I use Coke. Crock pot pulled pork is seriously the greatest thing ever!

Seriously! My family loves it, even the 2-year-olds 🙂
Easy & cheap! and I’m assuming yummy?!? I’ve gotta try this!
Pretty yummy, if I do say so!
I’ll have to try this with the ginger ale. I make something similar but without the ginger ale. I really want to try this with the onion and ginger ale. Sounds great!
I’ve never been a pork fan, but everybody else in the family LOVES pulled pork (and I don’t mind it too much if I just pretend it’s chicken!) – I totally forgot about it as a dinner option! Definitely adding it to the menu soon 🙂
My husband will love this! And I have a love affair with my crockpot… I wonder if I could make if with skinless chicken on the bone too?
