Slow Cooker Chipotle Pulled Pork Sandwiches Recipe

You are going to love this delicious Chipotle Pulled Pork. It’s perfect to shred and serve on top of sandwiches. 

We LOVE slow cooker recipes, especially when they only have a few ingredients, and they taste great.

The only part we don’t like? 

Transferring the meat to the plate and then shredding it!

I’ve bent and broken one too many forks trying to do just that! That is – until we met these Bear Paws!

They are heat resistant (up to 475 degrees) and they are perfect for grabbing and handling meat straight off the grill or out of the pan. They shred with ease – with no bending or breaking or heating up.

Ingredients

  • 2 pound pork shoulder roast
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ yellow onion
  • 8 ounces Chipotle sauce
  • 8 hamburger buns

Instructions

  • Spray a slow cooker with cooking spray.
  • Place the roast in the slow cooker and pour the ketchup, brown sugar, onion, and Chipotle sauce over top.
  • Cook for 4-6 hours on high, or 8-10 on low.
  • Remove meat from slow cooker, and shred.
  • Return to the slow cooker, stir, and cook on low until ready to serve on buns.

Notes

  • I love the Old El Paso brand chipotle sauce that comes in a little pouch (just a personal opinion!!!)
  • To turn this into a freezer meal:
    • Add roast, ketchup, brown sugar, onion, and chipotle sauce to a gallon-sized freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top and cook for 8-10 hours on low heat (you can cook it for 5-6 hours on high heat, but it will not be as tender as cooking it low and slow).

    My step Dad has a set of those bear paws and he loves them! He's huge into dutch oven cooking and grilling so they get a ton of use!

    The Old El Paso Brand is also the one I used in the video. :)

    I would love to make this but don't like spicy foods. Do you think it would still taste good without the chipotle sauce? Thanks!

    You could add barbecue sauce to add flavor without the spicy!

    Do you know if the old el paso chipotle sauce is still sold? Can't seem to find it!

    I talked to Steph and she says you can still buy it, but they have changed the packaging. It's not in a bottle anymore. It's in an 8 ounce bag. Still located on the sauce aisle. I saw it online at WalMart.com. Some Kroger chains stores sell it. But you could use any chipotle sauce and it will work great in the recipe.
