Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 1 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 8 pieces Whole wheat sandwich buns
- 2 cups Cole slaw mix (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Light mayo (optional, for slaw)
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar (optional, for slaw)
Directions
Step 1
Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Rub this mixture evenly over the pork shoulder.
Step 3
Place the seasoned pork shoulder into the crockpot.
Step 4
Add the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth around the pork shoulder, being careful not to wash off the seasoning.
Step 5
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easy to shred.
Step 6
Once the pork is cooked, transfer it to a large cutting board or tray. Use two forks to shred the meat completely.
Step 7
Return the shredded pork to the crockpot and mix it with the cooking juices. Stir in the sugar-free BBQ sauce and let it warm through for 10-15 minutes.
Step 8
If making cole slaw, mix the cole slaw mix with light mayo and white vinegar in a bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
Step 9
To assemble the sandwiches, spoon about 1/2 cup of pulled pork onto each whole wheat bun. Top with cole slaw if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
