Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork Sandwiches.
Step 1
Start by pouring a generous amount of vegetable oil into the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a flavorful base for your dish.
Step 2
Next, gently place the pork shoulder roast right in the cooker, allowing it to soak up all the deliciousness to come.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to add the star ingredients: pour in the tangy barbeque sauce, zesty apple cider vinegar, and savory chicken broth.
Step 4
To elevate the flavor, sprinkle in the light brown sugar for sweetness, yellow mustard for a little kick, Worcestershire sauce for depth, and chili powder for that perfect hint of spice.
Step 5
Toss in the chopped onion, crushed garlic, and dried thyme, then give everything a good stir to blend those wonderful flavors together.
Step 6
Cover your slow cooker and let the magic happen! You can choose to cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours or on High for 5 to 6 hours.
Step 7
The goal is to have the pork so tender that it shreds effortlessly with a fork.
Step 8
Once your pork is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Step 9
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, mixing it back into those rich, flavorful juices for an extra burst of taste.
Step 10
While the pork is soaking up all that goodness, let’s prepare the buns.
Step 11
Spread a nice layer of butter on the inside of both halves of your hamburger buns.
Step 12
Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buns, butter-side down, until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 13
This step adds a delightful crunch that perfectly complements the tender pulled pork.
Step 14
Finally, it’s time to assemble your masterpiece! Spoon the succulent pulled pork into the toasted buns, letting the juices soak in just a bit.
Step 15
Serve them up warm and watch as everyone digs in, savoring every delicious bite.
Step 16
Enjoy your homemade pulled pork sandwiches, and don’t forget to share the joy of this comforting dish with family and friends!.
