Method

Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder. Place the pork in a slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Drizzle the liquid smoke and apple cider vinegar over the pork in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  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 it with the BBQ sauce. Let it warm through for an additional 30 minutes.

Bun and Topping Preparation

  1. 4

    Toast the Buns

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Slice the brioche buns in half and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Layer the pulled BBQ pork on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with two slices of cooked bacon and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
