This Keto BBQ Pulled Pork recipe offers a flavorful and tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with sugar-free BBQ sauce and smoked spices, perfect for a low-carb, keto-friendly meal. Easy to prepare in a slow cooker, this dish delivers a delicious and juicy BBQ experience without the added sugars.

Ingredients

Meat

  • 3 lbs pork shoulder (pork butt)

Sauce and Liquids

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

Spices

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

Instructions

  1. Season the Pork: Rub the pork shoulder thoroughly with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to evenly coat the meat and infuse it with robust flavors.
  2. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned pork shoulder into your crockpot. Pour the chicken broth and sugar-free BBQ sauce evenly over the pork to provide moisture and a rich savory taste during cooking.
  3. Slow Cook the Pork: Cover the crockpot and cook the pork on low heat for 10 hours to achieve maximum tenderness, or on high heat for 5 hours if short on time. The pork should be fork-tender and easy to shred at the end of cooking.
  4. Shred and Mix: Remove the pork from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred the meat finely. Return the shredded pork to the sauce in the crockpot and mix thoroughly to coat the meat with the flavorful juices before serving.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free BBQ sauce to keep this recipe keto-friendly and low-carb.
  • If you don't have a crockpot, this recipe can be adapted for an Instant Pot using the slow cook function or pressure cooking for about 1 hour with natural release.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste after cooking if needed.
  • Leftover pulled pork can be stored refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with keto-friendly sides such as cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables to keep the meal low in carbs.
