1 1/2 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper

1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
4 pound boneless pork shoulder roast ((aka Boston Butt roast))
2 cups apple juice

  • In a medium mixing bowl combine apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire and liquid smoke.
  • Place roast in a slow cooker, pour several tablespoons of the apple juice mixture over the top of the roast, then pour remaining mixture on the side of the roast (I do this so all the dry rub isn't washed off the top).

2 Tbsp paprika
1/2 Tbsp cayenne pepper
4 pound shoulder pork roast (aka Boston Butt roast)

8 hamburger buns or large rolls

Coleslaw, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Place roast in a 13 x 9 pan and rub entire roast with dry rub mixture, pressing mixture into the roast. Cover roast with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator at least 2 hours. In a medium mixing bowl combine apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire, liquid smoke and garlic powder. Place roast in a slow cooker, pour several tablespoons of the apple juice mixture over the top of the roast, then pour remaining mixture on the side of the roast (I do this so all the dry rub isn't washed off the top).

Ladle out majority of the broth (I leave about 1/2 - 3/4 cup) and pour in barbecue sauce and stir. Serve warm, over rolls with optional coleslaw. •*Original recipe calls for 2 Tbsp of each salt and pepper but I thought 1 1/2 Tbsp was plenty. It also doesn't call for freshly ground black pepper but I think it makes a big difference. •**Original recipe lists Barbeque sauce. I like to add 1 1/4 cups and I only use Bullseye brand. I have tried many other kinds and several homemade recipes and Bullseye is just it for me. It's perfect with this recipe.

PAULA DEEN'S FAVORITE PULLED PORK SANDWICH RECIPE - (4/5)



Paula Deen's Favorite Pulled Pork Sandwich Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Susan52

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds bone-in, Bottom Butt pork roast
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 can Sprite
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 bottle BBQ sauce
hamburger buns and slaw (or preferred toppings) for serving
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine dry spices. Add pork butt to the crock of a large slow cooker. Pour can of Sprite or other lemon-lime soda, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce on top of the pork. Top with dry spices, salt and pepper, and brown sugar. Pat into the meat. Cook on LOW 8-10 hours. Carefully pour off the liquid in the crock pot. Remove the bone and shred the meat. Pour entire bottle of BBQ sauce over shredded meat. Stir to combine. Serve on a bun piled high, top with prepared coleslaw.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: For pulled pork, a pork shoulder or pork butt is the best choice. These cuts have a lot of connective tissue, which breaks down during slow cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Season the pork well: Before cooking, be sure to season the pork with a variety of spices and herbs. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the pork on low heat: Slow cooking is the key to tender, juicy pulled pork. Cook the pork on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
  • Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred it into small pieces. This will make it easier to eat and serve.
  • Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include coleslaw, baked beans, and mashed potatoes.
