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. Pour cup of water into the bottom of the 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, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
Pour the Sauce over the shredded Pork and stir to combine.
Serve the Pulled Pork on Hamburger buns.
