Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 4 pound pork shoulder roast
  • 1 cup barbeque sauce
  • 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar

  • 1 extra large onion, chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 8 hamburger buns, split
  • 2 tablespoons butter, or as needed

Method
 

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Pour vegetable oil into the bottom of a slow cooker. Place pork roast into the slow cooker; pour in barbecue sauce, vinegar, and chicken broth. Stir in brown sugar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onion, garlic, and thyme. Cover and cook on Low for 10 to 12 hours or High for 5 to 6 hours until pork shreds easily with a fork.
  3. Remove pork from the slow cooker, and shred the meat using two forks. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker, and stir to combine with juices.
