Fayes Pulled Barbecue Pork
This dish combines succulent pork with a tangy barbecue sauce, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and spice. Serve it on a bun, or enjoy it on its own with some sides for a complete meal.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of pork shoulder
- 1 cup of barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 hamburger buns (optional)
- Coleslaw (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing the pork shoulder. Trim any excess fat, then season the meat with salt, black pepper, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce over the top, ensuring that the sauce covers as much of the meat as possible.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and place it in a large mixing bowl. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the shredded pork with the remaining barbecue sauce from the slow cooker until all the meat is well-coated. This will enhance the flavor and keep the pork moist.
- If desired, toast the hamburger buns on a skillet or grill. Serve the pulled pork on the buns, topped with coleslaw for added crunch and flavor.
