Method

Preparing the Pork

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    Rub the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

Making the BBQ Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, mustard, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 4

    Cook the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Sandwiches

  1. 5

    Shred the Pork

    Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

  2. 6

    Mix with BBQ Sauce

    Combine the shredded pork with the homemade BBQ sauce, ensuring the pork is well-coated.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Toast the hamburger buns lightly, then pile the BBQ pulled pork onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw and place the other half of the bun on top. Serve immediately.
