Ingredients:

  1. 1/2 - cup water
  2. 1/4 - cup ketchup
  3. 1/4 - cup cider vinegar
  4. 2 teaspoons - brown sugar
  5. 1 1/2 - teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  6. 1 1/2 - teaspoons chili powder
  7. 1 - teaspoon paprika
  8. 1 - teaspoon dry mustard powder
  9. 1/4 - teaspoon red pepper flakes
  10. - kosher salt and fresh black pepper
  11. - Buns, slaw and hot sauce
  12. 2 - large onions, sliced
  13. 5 - boneless pork shoulder roast
  14. 6 cloves - garlic, smashed
  15. 1 - teaspoon salt
  16. 1/2 - teaspoon black pepper
  17. 2 tablespoons - brown sugar
  18. 1 1/2 - teaspoons dried red pepper flakes
  19. 1 - cup cider vinegar
  20. 1 - cup apple cider or apple juice
  21. 2 cups - cooking liquid (reserved from the slow-cooked pork)

Directions:

Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray.

Put the onions in the slow cooker. Make slits in the pork roast and insert the garlic cloves. Rub salt, pepper, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes into the meat. Place the pork in the slow cooker fat side up and pour in the vinegar and apple cider. Cover and cook on low for at least 10 hours and up to 12 hours, until the meat is falling-apart tender.

Transfer the meat to a large bowl and shred it with two forks. Set aside.

Make the sauce:
Pour 2 cups of the pan juices into a measuring cup; discard any leftover juices still in the pot. Let cool and skim off any visible fat. Pour this liquid into a saucepan. Add the water, ketchup, cider vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, dry mustard, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and add 1 cup of the sauce mixture (more if you like it wet). Give it a stir and set the slow cooker to warm until ready to serve.

Assemble the sandwiches:

Serve the pork straight from the slow cooker with a slotted spoon, along with buns, slaw, and hot sauce. Serve the additional sauce on the side.
