Method

Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes until thickened.

Onion Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Onions

    Slice the yellow onion thinly. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden and caramelized, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix it with the BBQ sauce. Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Place a generous amount of the BBQ pork on the bottom half of each bun, add the sautéed onions, and top with the other half of the bun.
