Ingredients
- 1 four pound pork shoulder roast
- 1 cup barbeque sauce
- ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
Instructions
- Add your 4-pound pork shoulder to the slow cooker.
- In a large bowl, whisk together your BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, chili powder, garlic powder and black pepper. Pour it all over that pork shoulder until it’s swimming in flavor.
- Add the chopped onion on top of the pork and sauce.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours if you’re impatient). But trust me, low and slow is the way to go. The pork will get all tender and delicious, practically shredding itself by the time you open the lid.
- Once the pork is cooked to fall-apart perfection, grab a couple of forks and start shredding. The meat should be so tender that it almost melts as you shred.
- Pile that pulled pork high on some soft buns for sandwiches, or serve it over rice, in tacos, or even on a potato salad if you’re feeling wild. And don’t forget extra BBQ sauce on the side.
