BBQ Pulled Pork

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mix all over the pork shoulder.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and half of the BBQ sauce. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the pork using two forks, then return it to the slow cooker. Stir in the remaining BBQ sauce.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Toast the sandwich buns if desired. Place a generous portion of the pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun, top with coleslaw, and cover with the top half of the bun.
