Ingredients

Dry rub:

2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 tablespoon cayenne
4 pound shoulder pork roast
2 cup apple juice
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire
1/2 tablespoon liquid smoke
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
6 soft hamburger buns with seeds
Bbq sauce
Cole slaw

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Mix the dry rub ingredients in small bowl. Sprinkle dry rub all over the pork roast, pressing into the pork. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Combine liquid ingredients and the garlic powder in a medium bowl and pour into a large Dutch oven. Place pork in the oven and tightly cover with aluminum foil then lid. Roast for 4 hours or until fork tender and shreds easily. Brush the roast with cooking liquid every hour.

Remove from oven and let stand until cool enough to handle. Shred the pork with a fork or tongs into bite size pieces.

Serve on hamburger buns topped with BBQ sauce and cole slaw.

Made this for the guys at work......
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

for our Christmas dinner since we all had to work on that day. WOW!!! They loved it! I used TWO 7-8 pound pork butts and... between 10 guys, it was GONE! They even asked me to copy down the recipe for them. Don't worry Paula, I gave you credit for a delicious meal. ;)Read more

Asesome

Followed this recipe exactly, well almost. Only difference is I didn't have liquid smoke, so did not use that. Was afraid... by some of the reviews that it was going to be too hot, but is was not. Just perfect. After the pork cooked and cooled and I shredded it, I put it back into the pan with the liquid (didn't boil it down like some suggested but may do that next time if there is time). Added about 1 cup of bottled barbecue sauce and OMG it was great! Served with extra bbq sauce if people wanted, a jalapeno cole slaw and sliced jalapenos. I've tried a few bbq pork recipes and will definitely keep this one. Several said it was the best they'd had. Really, really good!Read more

YUMMMM

This was so easy and so so tasty. My boyfriend was unsure that he would like it because he hates vinegar but he loved it.... I've made it a couple of times. I Left out the liquid smoke because I couldn't find it but it still was wonderful. Highly recommended Read more

We just had this for dinner and it was great. I did cut down on the cayenne and I couldn't find a pork shoulder so I got a 3... lb loin roast instead and it turned out perfect. I did cut it back to 3 hours cook time and it just pulled apart. I used the Neeley's BBQ sauce like other reviewers said and again it was perfect. Thanks so much, Paula. You came through again.Read more
