Sandwich Assembly

Method

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Add water and cover. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix in the BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and let it warm on low for an additional 30 minutes.

Coleslaw Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage and grated carrot. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss well to coat.

  2. 5

    Chill the Slaw

    Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 6

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the hamburger buns on a grill or in a toaster.

  2. 7

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Layer the pulled pork on the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw and drizzle extra BBQ sauce over the slaw. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
