Old Fashioned Bar-b-que Pulled Pork Sandwich (lunch) Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

2. 2

   Cook the Pork

   Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C). Place the pork shoulder in the smoker and cook for approximately 8-10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Maintain a consistent temperature, adding wood chips for smoke flavor as needed.

3. 3

   Rest and Shred the Pork

   Once the pork is done cooking, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 30 minutes. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.

4. 4

   Mix with BBQ Sauce

   In a large bowl, combine the shredded pork with apple cider vinegar and BBQ sauce. Mix well to ensure all the meat is coated.

5. 5

   Prepare the Cosmic Coleslaw

   For the cosmic coleslaw, mix together 4 cups of shredded cabbage, 1 cup of shredded carrots, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

6. 6

   Assemble the Sandwiches

   To assemble, place a generous portion of the pulled pork on each hamburger bun, top with cosmic coleslaw, and serve.
