Memphis Pulled Pork Sandwich with Coleslaw Topping
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 lbs pork shoulder
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 sandwich buns
- For the coleslaw:
- 4 cups shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create a dry rub.
- Rub the dry rub all over the pork shoulder, covering it completely. Place the pork shoulder in a slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Pour the mixture over the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pork is very tender and easy to shred with a fork.
- Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir it into the cooking liquid to coat the meat.
- To make the coleslaw, in a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the cabbage evenly with the dressing.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place a generous amount of pulled pork on the bottom half of each sandwich bun. Top with a scoop of coleslaw and cover with the top half of the bun.
- Serve the Memphis Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Coleslaw Topping immediately and enjoy!
