Ingredients (11)

  • 4 lb boneless pork shoulder
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
  • 8 soft buns
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage slaw with a vinegar dressing

Steps

  1. Mix the sugar, paprika, garlic and onion powders, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt. Rub all over the pork.
  2. Set the pork in the slow cooker with the broth and vinegar. Cook on low 8 to 10 hours until it pulls apart easily.

  4. Pile onto buns with slaw.
