Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 cups BBQ sauce
• 0.25 cups Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 8 buns Burger buns
• 2 cups Coleslaw (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Place the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 3

Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder, then place it on top of the onions and garlic.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the pork, ensuring it is well coated.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours), until the pork is fork-tender and shreds easily.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the pork from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the pork using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.

Step 8

Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and stir to coat it in the sauce. Allow it to warm in the sauce for an additional 15-20 minutes on low heat.

Step 9

To serve, toast the burger buns if desired. Pile the shredded BBQ pork onto the buns and top with coleslaw if using.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
