Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prep the Pork Shoulder: Start by patting the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper all over.
-
Prepare the Barbecue Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
-
Slow-Cook the Pork Shoulder: Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker and pour the barbecue sauce over it, making sure to coat the meat evenly. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
-
Shred the Pork: Once the pork is cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker and transfer it to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
-
Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer the cooking liquid from the slow cooker to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it has reduced and thickened slightly.
-
Serve: Place the shredded pork back into the slow cooker and toss it in the thickened barbecue sauce. Allow it to heat through for another 15-20 minutes on low heat. Serve the Pork Shoulder Barbecue on hamburger buns and enjoy!
