Easy Chopped Pork Slow Cooker Recipe

This is Hubby’s chopped pork recipe. This slow cooker pork recipe is very easy to make, and chopping the pork is easier to do than pulling pork (although you can pull the pork with this recipe, too). If you like, you can make diced pork by chopping this into smaller pieces. The only difference between pulled pork, diced pork, minced pork, and chopped pork is how you cut the pork roast. Diced pork is bite-sized pieces, but honestly? So is minced pork. It all starts with a shoulder pork roast or butt pork roast and the same recipe.

If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make chopped pork recipe, you have come to the right place. This recipe is simple yet flavorful and is sure to become a favorite in your household. This is one of our favorite recipes, has tons of flavor, is an easy meal, and is a great way to make leftovers the whole family will enjoy. Those leftover can be frozen so that a container of chopped pork can be pulled from the freezer on busy nights for an instant meal. The best way to defrost is to pull out a container of chopped pork a day in advance and place in the fridge to defrost, or use your microwave defrost setting. An easy dinner recipe!

We eat this as a main dish, but it is also great as a chopped pork sandwich. Sometimes (ok, a lot of times), I place some in a bowl and top it with coleslaw. Mmmm, it tastes so good! It is great in a salad, or to use as a taco filling. This is more comfort food than healthy eating. Heh

Side dishes that pair well with pulled pork are a side salad, a green vegetable such as green beans, Brussels sprouts, or peas, mashed potatoes (with butter and sour cream!), potato salad, and of course coleslaw.

Tips and variations for making this chopped pork recipe:

● Use pork shoulder or butt pork roast. Different cuts of pork will produce slightly different results.
● You can use any cola you like, but Pepsi or Coke add the best flavor.
● We like to use sweet onions, but you can use white onions or cooking onions to vary the taste.
● The taste will change depending on the type of barbecue sauce you use. We tend to use honey or brown sugar flavored BBQ sauces. You choose the brand and type your family enjoys the most to create the flavorful sauce that will result.
● Make sure your knife is very sharp before you start chopping. Hubby always uses a honing rod on his knife before he cuts meat.
● The meat will be so tender that very little cutting may be involved. If it isn’t quite as soft, use two knives, one in each hand, to chop the pork using a crisscross pattern.
● Because this is a slow cooker recipe, it can be made on the weekend or busy weeknights. The best part is that it produces a lot of leftovers for the average family, that is many main course meals in one easy recipe. More easy meals in your future!
● When transporting do not just rely on the slow cooker lid. Add a layer of aluminum foil over and around the slow cooker pot to contain any possible spills or leaks.
● This freezes beautifully. For best results, Hubby will food saver the pork meat or place it in a freezer-grade food container.
● This recipe is made with simple ingredients commonly found at your local grocery store.
