Method

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and water. Cover and 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 shoulder from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the pork. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix in the barbecue sauce. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Cheese Sauce Preparation

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.

  2. 5

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Add mustard powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
