Ingredients:

  • For the Pulled Pork:
    • 1.5 kg (3-4 lbs) pork shoulder or pork butt
    • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
    • 1/2 cup chicken broth or water
    • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • 1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp salt
  • For the Sandwiches:
    • 6-8 burger buns
    • 1 cup coleslaw (optional, for topping)
    • Pickles (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pork:
    • Rub the pork shoulder with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Place the pork in a slow cooker (or a Dutch oven if cooking in the oven).
    • Add chicken broth or water and 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours (or high heat for 4-5 hours), until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.
  2. Shred the Pork:
    • Remove the cooked pork and shred it using two forks.
    • Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in the remaining BBQ sauce. Let it simmer on low for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches:
    • Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
    • Pile the pulled pork onto the bottom half of each bun.
    • Top with coleslaw and pickles for extra crunch and tanginess.
    • Cover with the top half of the bun.
  4. Serve:
    • Serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side, and enjoy with fries, chips, or a fresh salad!

These sandwiches are smoky, tangy, and irresistibly delicious—perfect for family dinners or gatherings!
