Ingredients:
- 4 lb pork butt
- 1 can (14 oz) or 2 cans (7 oz) low sodium beef broth
- ½ cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup prepared coleslaw
- Toasted buns
Place pork and broth in slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours. Shred meat, using two forks, and discard bone. Return to slow cooker.
In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients (except coleslaw and bread) and pour over shredded pork. Cook another 2-3 hours on low. Serve on rolls, topped with coleslaw.
This recipe adapts beautifully to pork shoulder or country style ribs, as well. Simply skip the shredding, increase the amount of ketchup and brown sugar to ¾ cup and 3 ½ tablespoons (respectively) and add a few drops of liquid smoke to your sauce.
