Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lb Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 Onion (large, sliced)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1.5 cup BBQ sauce
- 6 Hamburger buns
- 2 tbsp Butter (optional, for toasting buns)
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and brown sugar.
Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
Place the sliced onion in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onions.
Pour the chicken broth around the pork in the slow cooker to help keep it moist during cooking.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
Discard any excess fat from the slow cooker and strain out the cooked onions if desired.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in the BBQ sauce until well combined. Let it cook on low for another 20-30 minutes to soak up the flavor of the sauce.
To prepare the buns, lightly butter the insides and toast them in a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown (optional).
Assemble the sandwiches by piling a generous amount of pulled pork onto the bottom half of each bun. Add coleslaw on top if desired, then place the bun top on.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
