Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the meat.

  2. 2

    Make the Vinegar Sauce

    In a separate bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pork

    Pour the vinegar sauce over the pork in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Toast the buns if desired. Spoon the barbecue pork onto the bottom half of each bun, top with coleslaw, and place the top half of the bun over the slaw.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the barbecue pork sandwiches warm with extra coleslaw on the side.
