Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder or pork butt and pat the meat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  2. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined to create a dry rub.

  3. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.

  4. Place the sliced onion and minced garlic at the bottom of your slow cooker.

  5. Carefully transfer the seasoned pork on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker.

  6. Pour the chicken or beef broth and apple cider vinegar over the pork.

  7. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5-6 hours. (Recommended: 9 hours on low)

  8. Once the pork is done cooking and falls apart easily with a fork, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board.

  9. Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces, discarding any excess fat.

  10. Mix the pulled pork with your favorite barbecue sauce until it reaches your desired level of sauciness.

  11. Serve the pulled pork on buns, in tacos, or alongside coleslaw and pickles.
