Ingredients
- 4-5 pounds pork shoulder roast
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1-12 ounce bottle of your favorite beer
- 2 tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce
Instructions
Start by preparing the pork shoulder. Cut any excess fat off the pork and discard. Next, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, making sure to cover it completely. Place the pork in the slow cooker.
Pour the beer into the slow cooker, covering the pork. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork. Once the pork is cooked, use two forks to shred the pork in the slow cooker.
Add the BBQ sauce to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes. Serve the pulled pork with buns and your favorite sides.
