Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 lbs pork shoulder
- 1/4 cup Memphis-style dry rub seasoning
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Rub the pork shoulder with 1/4 cup of Memphis-style dry rub seasoning, making sure to coat the entire surface.
- Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a slow cooker and pour in the apple cider vinegar. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- While the pork is cooking, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- Once the pork is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any excess fat.
- Mix the shredded pork with the prepared barbecue sauce until well coated.
- Toast the hamburger buns in a toaster or on a grill until lightly golden.
- Divide the pulled pork mixture evenly among the toasted buns, and serve hot.
