Pulled Pork

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and season it with salt, black pepper, paprika, and brown sugar.

  2. 2

    Slow Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any large pieces of fat.

  4. 4

    Combine with BBQ Sauce

    Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix in the BBQ sauce. Let it cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the buns lightly. Pile the pulled pork onto the bottom half of each bun, add pickles if desired, and top with the other half of the bun.
