Inspired by the traditional Hawaiian kālua pork—slow-roasted in an underground imu oven—this easy crockpot version delivers the same succulent, smoky, garlicky shredded pork with minimal effort. Perfect for pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, rice bowls, or a tropical-themed luau, it’s a set-it-and-forget-it dish that fills your kitchen with island warmth.
And the best part? Only 4–5 simple ingredients—no fancy seasonings, no liquid smoke required.
