  • 1 cup BBQ sauce Use your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

  3. Place the pork in the Crock Pot on top of the onions and garlic.
  4. Pour the BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar over the pork.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
  2. Once cooked, remove the pork, shred it with two forks, and mix it with the sauce in the Crock Pot.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the pork shoulder overnight with the spices and BBQ sauce before cooking. Adjust spices to taste for desired heat. Don’t rush the cooking time; longer cooking makes the pork more tender.
