Pork Preparation

For Serving

Method

Pork Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Pork

    In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it's well covered. Let it sit for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight for better flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    Place the seasoned pork into a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 15 minutes until slightly thickened.

  2. 4

    Mix Sauce with Pork

    Once the pork is cooked, carefully shred it using two forks. Drain excess juices if necessary, then mix the shredded pork with the prepared BBQ sauce. Stir until well combined.

Serving

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Toast the burger buns if desired. Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ pulled pork onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw if using, and place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.

  2. 6

    Serve and Enjoy

    Serve the BBQ pulled pork sandwiches immediately with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired. Enjoy your delicious meal!
