Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Amounts scale with servings. Pan size and cooking time may need adjusting for larger batches.

Ingredients

• 4 lb boneless pork shoulder
• 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 onion, sliced
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• ½ cup barbecue sauce, plus more for serving

Let’s make it

1. 1

   Stir brown sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the mixture all over the pork.

2. 2

   Scatter the onion in a slow cooker. Set the pork on top and pour vinegar around it, not over the rub.

3. 3

   Cook on low for 8 hours, until the pork shreds easily and reaches at least 195°F in the thickest part.

4. 4

   Shred the meat, discarding large fat pieces. Toss with barbecue sauce and enough cooking juices to keep it moist. Serve warm.
