Ingredients

  • 3-4 lbs Pork Shoulder (boneless or bone-in)
  • 1/2-1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Ribs Spice Rub (My recipe) or your favorite rub
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, halved and sliced
  • 2 cups Barbecue Sauce, use your favorite

Optional

  • 1-2 Tbsp Chipotles in Adobo, with some of the sauce (for a spicy, smoky flavor)

Instructions

  • Add onion, barbecue sauce, and chipotle, if using. Stir.
  • Rub pork shoulder with the salt and the spice rub.
  • Place pork shoulder in the slow cooker with the fat side up.
  • Cook on Low for 9-10 hours, or High for 5-6 hours. If you can, stir the sauce about halfway through and turn the meat over. It will be fine if you don't.
  • After cooking, scrape off the fat layer and discard. Remove the meat to a large plate and shred it using two forks. 
  • Skim some of the fat off of the top of the juices in the pot, using a large spoon. Return the meat to the crock and stir to combine with the juices. Add a little more bbq sauce if needed.
  • Serve on toasted burger buns.
    Top with my Easy Creamy Coleslaw.
