- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder

- In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of BBQ sauce, 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 tbsp of smoked paprika, 1 tbsp of garlic powder, 1 tbsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.
- Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker and pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the pork, making sure it is evenly coated.
