Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb boston butt pork roast
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1/2 Tbsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 cup apple juice
- 8 hamburger buns
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Remove pork from oven and score fat criss cross diagonally with a knife. Then poke six holes into the meat and place a single garlic clove deep in each hole.
- Combine all seasoning ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Rub pork roast with worcestershire sauce to help rub adhere, then rub generously with 3/4 of your rub. Wrap tightly with saran wrap and place in fridge overnight.
- The next morning, preheat oven to 350°. Uncover pork and place onto roasting rack. Place rack in center of oven and roast for one hour. Remove and immediately transfer to a slow cooker. Add apple juice and close lid. Set to low for 7 hours.
- Remove pork to bowl and shred with fork or bear claw shredder. Sprinkle with remaining rub and toss to sir. Add BBQ sauce if desired.
- If serving on buns, place buns inside-up on a broiler pan and broil in oven for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. This will help them from becoming soggy.
Notes
If cooking for a large crowd, upgrade from a boston butt to a full pork shoulder. You can find them at most Costco stores if you are a member. Just make sure it will fit fully inside your slow cooker!
