My recipe for pulled pork is simple: 1 can of beer, a 5- to 6-pound pork butt, seasonings, and a bottle of barbecue sauce. My beer choice is Shiner Bock, and my barbecue sauce choice is Sweet Baby Ray's. Just put it in a slow cooker before you go to bed, and when you wake up the magic has happened. See for yourself! Serve on onion buns or hamburger buns.

Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Discard cooking juices. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on Medium for 1 hour.
