Method

Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over the entire pork shoulder.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. In a separate bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar and water, then pour this mixture over the pork. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily.

  3. 3

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Mix with Sauce

    Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, and mix with your favorite BBQ sauce. Allow it to warm through for an additional 30 minutes on low.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns (optional)

    If desired, lightly toast the hamburger buns on a skillet or grill until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place a generous portion of the pulled pork on the bottom half of each hamburger bun. Top with coleslaw and a drizzle of extra BBQ sauce if desired. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.

  3. 7

    Serve

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