Scale
Meat
- 3 lb pork shoulder
Seasoning and Sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Breads and Toppings
- 8 burger buns
- Optional: coleslaw for topping
Instructions
- Seasoning the Pork: Generously season the 3 lb pork shoulder with salt and black pepper on all sides to bring out its natural flavors.
- Slow Cooking: Place the seasoned pork shoulder into a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Shredding the Meat: Remove the pork shoulder from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks until it is pulled apart into bite-size pieces.
- Mixing with BBQ Sauce: Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker or a bowl and mix thoroughly with 1 cup of barbecue sauce until well coated.
- Assembling the Sandwiches: Toast the burger buns if desired. Pile the BBQ pulled pork generously onto the bottom half of each bun. Optionally, top with coleslaw for added crunch and flavor, then cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serving: Serve the sandwiches warm alongside your favorite sides for a classic American meal experience.
Notes
- Adding coleslaw as a topping adds a nice crunch and tanginess to the sandwiches.
- Use a slow cooker for tender, fall-apart pork that easily shreds.
- Adjust BBQ sauce quantity according to preference for sauciness.
- Leftover pulled pork can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
