Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Slaw

Ingredients:

  • 4 to 5 pounds of pork shoulder
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite kind)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Buns for serving
  • Coleslaw for topping (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing the pork shoulder. Trim any excess fat, then rub it with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, brown sugar, and salt. Make sure it’s evenly coated.
  2. Place the seasoned pork shoulder in the slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce over the top, ensuring that it’s thoroughly covered. This will keep the meat moist and flavorful as it cooks.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork. You can also opt for a higher setting (on high) for about 4 to 6 hours if you’re pressed for time.
  4. Once the pork is ready, remove it from the slow cooker. Shred the meat using two forks, mixing it with the remaining barbecue sauce in the cooker. This will enhance the flavor and keep the meat juicy.
  5. To serve, pile generous portions of pulled pork onto soft buns, adding coleslaw on top for that extra crunch and zing.
  6. Enjoy your delicious Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Barbecue Sandwiches with family and friends!

This pulled pork recipe is not only versatile but can also be made ahead of time. It freezes well, so consider making a big batch to enjoy later. Serve with pickles and your favorite sides for the ultimate barbecue experience!
