Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork shoulder (or pork butt)
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 whole Yellow onion, sliced
- 0.5 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 pieces Burger buns
Instructions
Place the sliced onion at the bottom of the crock pot to create a flavor base for the meat.
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder, then place it on top of the onions in the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well-coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours, or HIGH for 4-5 hours, depending on your schedule.
After cooking, use two forks to shred the pork directly in the crock pot. Mix the shredded pork with the sauce so it’s evenly coated and flavorful.
Toast the burger buns, if desired, and pile the barbecue pork onto the bottom half of each bun.
Serve with coleslaw on top (optional) and the top half of the bun. Enjoy your delicious Crock Pot Barbecue for Sandwiches!
