Ingredients:
- 3-4 pounds (1.5-2 kg) pork shoulder or pork butt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 4-6 sandwich buns or rolls
- Coleslaw (optional, for topping)
Prepping the Pork:
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a spice rub.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork shoulder or pork butt.
Slow Cooking the Pork:
- Place the seasoned pork in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart.
- Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork directly in the slow cooker. Remove any excess fat.
Adding the Barbecue Sauce:
- Pour the barbecue sauce over the shredded pork in the slow cooker. Mix well to coat the pork thoroughly. Let it simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes on low heat.
Assembling the Sandwiches:
- Toast the sandwich buns or rolls lightly, if desired.
- Spoon a generous amount of the flavorful pulled pork onto the bottom half of each bun.
- Optionally, top the pulled pork with coleslaw for a refreshing crunch and added flavor.
- Place the top half of the bun over the pork and coleslaw to complete the sandwiches.
