Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with BBQ Sauce (5 Ingredients)
September 28, 2020
Pulled pork is versatile and crowd-pleasing, but it’s often slathered with barbecue sauce that’s packed with sugar and other not-so-appealing ingredients. Not this recipe! Our keto-friendly pulled pork is made with Primal Kitchen Unsweetened Classic BBQ sauce, so it’s totally keto-friendly and mom-approved.
Pulled pork is best when cooked low and slow. This recipe can be made overnight or in the morning before leaving for work. It's also perfect for weekend meal prep day. Simply season a bone-in pork shoulder or pork butt with salt and pepper, plop in the slow cooker with bone broth, set the slow cooker to low, and walk away for 10 hours. When that's done, shred the meat and add our Classic BBQ Sauce or Golden BBQ Sauce, then heat through.
Check out our list of ways to use this keto-friendly slow cooker pulled pork after the recipe.

Ways to Use Keto Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
There are so many options for enjoying this meltingly tender meat:
- Serve on top of salads.
- Make keto pulled pork sliders: Use cooked sweet potato, zucchini, eggplant, or portobello mushroom caps as the "buns," pile high with pulled pork, and top with more keto-friendly BBQ sauce.
- Make a southwest-style hash: Shred celery root, parsnips, or potatoes, and cook in a cast iron skillet with avocado oil. Add pulled pork to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the pork is warm. Top with two fried eggs and a drizzle of hot sauce or Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce.
- Use in a macro bowl: Add 1-2 cups of cooked cauliflower rice to a bowl. Top with pulled pork, diced avocado, toasted pumpkin seeds, pico de gallo, fresh cilantro leaves, and a drizzle of Primal Kitchen Cilantro Lime Dressing.
- Eat it alongside this Apple Coleslaw.
- Create a deceptively easy brunch dish with this Keto Breakfast Tostada with Cilantro Lime Avocado Sauce.
- Serve on top of a baked potato or sweet potato.
