BBQ Pulled Pork

Ingredients

• 2½ lb pork shoulder (boston butt)
• 1 onion
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1½ cup BBQ sauce
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 4 buns (optional)
• 2 cup coleslaw (optional)

Steps

1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
2. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder. Slice the onion into thick rings and place them at the bottom of a slow cooker.
3. Place the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onions in the slow cooker. Pour the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar over the pork.
4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
5. Carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any large pieces of fat.
6. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce, ensuring it's well coated.
7. Serve the BBQ pulled pork warm on buns, optionally topped with coleslaw.
