Hey there, foodies! Today, I want to share with you my all-time favorite slow cooker recipe – Pulled Pork Sandwiches! This recipe is super easy to make, and the end result is a tender and flavorful sandwich that will leave you craving for more.

First things first, let’s talk about the ingredients. You’ll need a pork shoulder or pork butt, onion, garlic, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and some spices of your choice. I usually go for paprika, cumin, and chili powder.

Next, prepare your slow cooker by lining it with a slow cooker liner or spraying it with non-stick cooking spray. Then, place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker and add the chopped onion and garlic on top. In a separate bowl, mix together the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spices. Pour the mixture over the pork shoulder, making sure it’s well coated.

Now, it’s time to let the slow cooker do its magic! Cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the meat is falling apart and can easily be shredded with a fork.

Once the pork is done, take it out of the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. You can also use a stand mixer to shred the meat quickly and easily. Then, return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining sauce. Let it cook on low for another 30 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Now, it’s time to assemble your sandwiches! I like to use brioche buns, but you can use any type of bread you prefer. Place a generous amount of pulled pork on the bottom bun, top it with some coleslaw or pickles, and add the top bun. And voila, you have yourself a delicious and satisfying pulled pork sandwich.

Overall, this slow cooker pulled pork recipe is a crowd-pleaser and perfect for any occasion. It’s easy to make, flavorful, and can feed a large group of people. So, next time you’re in the mood for some delicious pulled pork sandwiches, give this recipe a try!
