A classic go-to meal for cookouts and game day gatherings, this flavorful slow-cooker pulled pork is a guaranteed hit any time you need to feed a crowd. We start by searing the meat on all sides for maximum flavor and juiciness (with minimum effort!) before slow-cooking it to fall-apart perfection. Whether you make a pulled pork sandwich topped with coleslaw, or prefer yours plain, keep some napkins on hand and enjoy!
