Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)
  • 4 soft sandwich buns
  • 1/2 cup coleslaw (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your slow cooker on low heat.

    Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, then evenly coat it with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulled apart.

  4. 4

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

  5. 5

    Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix in the BBQ sauce until well combined.

  6. 6

    Let the mixture sit for an additional 20-30 minutes to heat the BBQ sauce and allow flavors to meld.

    Toast the sandwich buns if desired. Spoon the pulled pork mixture onto each bun.

    Top with coleslaw if using, and serve immediately.
