Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Combine all Dry Rub ingredients in a small bowl.
Rub the Dry Rub all over the Pork, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Place the Pork in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, until the Pork is very tender and easily shredded.
While the Pork is cooking, prepare the Sauce by combining all Sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the Pork is cooked, shred it using two forks.
Pour the Sauce over the shredded Pork and stir to combine. Let it simmer for another 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Butter the Hamburger buns and toast them lightly.
Pile the Pulled Pork onto the toasted buns and serve immediately.
