Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork Sandwiches


After having some pulled pork sandwiches at Invesco Field for our football game, I wanted to make some at home. I found a great slow cooker recipe that we will definitely be using again! Mike has used the leftovers on salads too!

Here's the recipe: Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork Sandwiches

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 pound pork shoulder roast (I used a 5lb boneless pork roast)
1 cup barbecue sauce (I used the whole bottle)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 extra large onion, chopped
2 large garlic gloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

Pour the vegetable oil in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the roast in the slow cooker. Pour in the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar and broth. Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or until the roast can be easily shredded with two forks. (I believe I cooked it for about 7-8 hours). Remove roast from slow cooker, and shred with forks. Place meat back into the cooker and stir into the juices. Cook another 15 minutes to allow the juices to soak into the meat. Place on toasted buns and add your favorite condiments.

Enjoy!
