Pulled Pork and Sausage

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a slow cooker, add the pork shoulder, sliced onion, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add enough water to cover the pork halfway. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    While the pork is cooking, grill or pan-fry the sausage links until they are browned and heated through. Slice them into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Mix in the BBQ sauce until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    To assemble, place a generous portion of pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun. Top with sliced sausage and additional BBQ sauce if desired. Add coleslaw on top if using, then place the top half of the bun on.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm.
