Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. paprika

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, chili flakes, thyme, minced garlic cloves, and the Dijon mustard.
  • Crosshatch the top of the pork shoulder. Do not cut the crosshatching too deeply or else the pork can dry out too much while cooking.
  • Pour a tiny amount of water into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Cover the pork in the brown sugar seasoning and place it into the slow cooker.
  • Cook your pulled pork on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.
  • Once the pork is done cooking remove it from the slow cooker and place into a large bowl.
  • Using two forks in either hand, proceed to pull the pork in opposite directions until all of the pork has been shredded.
  • Add the 2 cups of BBQ sauce and mix together until all of the pork is covered in sauce.
  • Serve on buns with a side of coleslaw and enjoy!
