Ingredients
- 3 lbs Pork shoulder roast
- 2 cups BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)
- 0.25 cups Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Optional: red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Place the pork shoulder roast in the crock pot. If it's too large, cut it into manageable pieces to fit snugly.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Step 3
Pour the BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the pork shoulder, ensuring every part is coated with the sauce.
Step 4
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours (low is preferred for the most tender results).
Step 5
About halfway through cooking, use a spoon to baste the pork with some of the sauce to enhance flavor and keep it moist.
Step 6
When the cooking time is complete, check that the pork is fork-tender. If it pulls apart easily with a fork, it's ready.
Step 7
Remove the pork from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding any excess fat.
Step 8
Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and stir it into the sauce. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes on the WARM setting to absorb the flavors.
Step 9
Serve the tangy BBQ pork roast on sandwich buns, alongside coleslaw, or over mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
