Ingredients

Gather these bad boys before we dive into the delicious details:

  • 3-4 pounds pork shoulder
  • 1 can (12 ounces) beer (your choice, but we recommend something you’d actually drink)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade, no judgments here!)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Buns for serving (because sandwiches are a must!)

Instructions

  1. First things first—don’t even think about starting without your trusty slow cooker. Set that baby to low. We want this pork to be so tender it practically melts in your mouth!
  2. Take that pork shoulder and rub it down with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Make it feel loved!
  3. Now, toss the sliced onions and minced garlic into the slow cooker base as your aromatic foundation. Lay the pork on top of that delicious bed.
  4. Pour in the beer and BBQ sauce over the top. Trust us, this duo is going to make your kitchen smell like a slice of heaven.
