Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
• 1 medium Onion (sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Low-sugar BBQ sauce
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar (optional, WW-friendly substitute)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 buns Whole wheat hamburger buns
• 1 as desired Optional toppings (coleslaw, pickles, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

1. Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder. Pat it dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and chili powder.

Step 2

2. Place the sliced onion and minced garlic at the bottom of the crock pot, creating a flavorful base layer.

Step 3

3. Position the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onion and garlic.

Step 4

4. In a small bowl, mix the low-sugar BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, and brown sugar (if using). Pour this mixture over the pork shoulder.

Step 5

5. Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, or until the pork becomes tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 6

6. Once the pork is fully cooked, transfer it to a large plate or cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat into small pieces.

Step 7

7. Skim any excess fat from the cooking liquid in the crock pot. Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and stir it into the juices to keep it moist and flavorful. Let it sit on the WARM setting for an additional 10–15 minutes.

Step 8

8. Serve the pulled pork on whole wheat hamburger buns. Add optional toppings like coleslaw or pickles for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.

Step 9

9. Enjoy your WW-friendly pulled pork sandwiches!
