Method

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Rub

    In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice rub.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork

    Rub the spice mixture generously all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Slow Cook the Pork

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

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into pieces.

  5. 5

    Combine with Barbecue Sauce

    Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with barbecue sauce. Allow it to warm for an additional 30 minutes on low.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a generous portion of the pulled pork. Top with coleslaw and pickles. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Serve the pulled pork sandwiches warm with extra barbecue sauce on the side, if desired.
