Method

Preparing the Pulled Pork

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a smoker or slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and water. Cook on low for about 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and pulls apart easily.

Making the Bar-B-Que Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

  2. 4

    Simmer Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preparing the Cosmic Coleslaw

  1. 5

    Mix Coleslaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well combined.

  2. 6

    Chill Coleslaw

    Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Assembling the Sandwiches

  1. 7

    Pull the Pork

    Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the smoker or slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

  2. 8

    Serve

    To assemble, place a generous amount of pulled pork on the bottom half of a hamburger bun, drizzle with Bar-B-Que sauce, and top with cosmic coleslaw. Place the top half of the bun on and enjoy!
