Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lb Pork shoulder
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 8 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 cups Coleslaw (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and place it on a clean surface.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker.
Pour the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth around the pork in the slow cooker, being careful not to wash off the rub.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook the pork on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board.
Shred the pork using two forks and discard any large pieces of fat.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices left in the pot to keep it moist.
Stir in the barbecue sauce, ensuring all the pork is well coated.
Serve the pulled pork on hamburger buns. Top with coleslaw if desired for additional crunch and flavor.
Enjoy your Traditional Super Bowl Sunday Pulled Pork Sandwiches!
