We love burgers and hot dogs as much as everyone else — but nothing beats a pile of juicy, slow-cooked pulled pork on your plate. Slathered in smoky-sweet barbecue sauce, it’s great alongside all your favorite cookout sides and salads. There are alot of great ways to make a batch for your cookout (or any occasion, really) but we think this fan-favorite recipe is a good place to start. Tyler seasons a pork roast with spicy-sweet dry rub, roasts it low and slow until it's falling apart and then serves with a tangy cider vinegar barbecue sauce.

New to pulled pork or barbecue entirely? These step-by-step instructions will show you how to prepare a basic (but exceptional) barbecue pulled pork sandwich.

The only match for this decadent slow-cooker pulled pork is a slaw. Bev keeps hers simple: No mayo, nothing creamy, just zingy and crunchy. It's simply cabbage, carrots, cilantro or parsley, lime juice and salt.
