Pulled Pork

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Combine apple cider vinegar and water in a separate bowl, then pour over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the slices of white bread if desired. Place a generous mound of pulled pork on each slice. Top with coleslaw and drizzle with BBQ sauce if using.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pulled pork sandwiches immediately, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
