Slow Cooker Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich
- 5 lbs boneless pork butt
- 3 cups thinly sliced onions
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon crushed garlic
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 12 teaspoon chili powder
- 12 teaspoon dried chipotle pepper
- 1 12 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 34 cup brown sugar
- 1 12 tablespoons salt
- ground pepper
- Remove the excess fat from the exterior of the pork.
- It is fine to leave some on, as we will skim off fat later.
- If the pork is one large piece, cut it into two or three pieces.
- Place the onions, tomatoes, garlic, paprika, chili powder, chipotle, cumin, vinegar, brown sugar and salt into the slow cooker and toss to combine.
- Add the pork and mix it with the other ingredients.
- Cover.
- Set the slow cooker for 8 hours on low.
- Although the pork will begin to smell really good in about an hour, leave the lid alone.
- After 4 hours, turn the meat over once, replace the lid and continue to cook.
- When the cooking is complete, remove the meat and set aside.
- Skim any fat along the top of the cooking liquid, or allow the liquid to cool and then remove the fat.
- Puree the remaining liquid to a sauce-like consistency; it should be thick but smooth.
- When the meat is cool enough to handle, use two forks to pull the pork into shreds.
- Season with black pepper.
- Heat the pureed liquid and add it to the meat as desired, depending on how saucy you like your pulled pork.
- To make the sandwich: Place a portion of the pulled pork onto the bottom half of the toasted bun, and top with barbecue sauce and coleslaw.
- Store leftover pulled pork in an airtight container for 5 to 6 days or in a freezer for up to 6 weeks.
