  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 to 4 lb boneless pork shoulder
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 5-quart or larger slow cooker with cooking spray. In medium bowl, beat mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder and 2 teaspoons salt with whisk. Pour into slow cooker. Add pork and turn to coat with sauce. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 9 hours.

    Transfer pork to cutting board. Allow to cool slightly. Meanwhile, strain sauce through fine-mesh strainer. Discard solids. Pour 1 1/4 cups sauce into small bowl; stir in vinegar. Reserve remaining sauce for another use. When cool enough to handle, shred pork using two forks. Discard any remaining fat. Transfer pork back to slow cooker; pour sauce with vinegar over pork; toss to mix.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To serve this pork as a sandwich, bake Pillsbury™ biscuits as directed on package. Using slotted spoon or tongs, top biscuit with pork and a spoonful of coleslaw.
  • tip 2
    If possible, refrigerate shredded pork mixture, then remove fat from top, then reheat.
  • tip 3
    Like it hot? Add 1 or 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce to the sauce.
  • tip 4
    Add 1/4 cup cider vinegar to the remaining meat sauce. Use as a dressing for coleslaw.
