Main Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Shoulder

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and rub the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly all over the meat.

  2. 2

    Slow Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour the apple cider vinegar over the top, cover, and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork shoulder from the slow cooker. Let it rest for a few minutes, then shred the meat using two forks.

  4. 4

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Mix the shredded pork with BBQ sauce, ensuring it’s well coated. Return it to the slow cooker and let it warm for an additional 30 minutes.

Sides Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

  2. 6

    Bake Cornbread

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and pour into a greased baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Prepare Baked Beans

    In a pot, combine canned baked beans with brown sugar, BBQ sauce, and diced onions. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes until heated through.
