Ingredients | Bbq Pulled Pork Sandwich Hard Rock

1 cup chopped onion

1 ½ pounds lean boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

1 ½ teaspoons chili powder

1 ½ teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper, or more to taste

½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

¼ teaspoon dry mustard

½ cup water

½ cup vinegar-based barbecue sauce

8 (2 ounce) whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted

4 cups prepared coleslaw

Directions

Put onion in a 4-quart slow cooker; top with pork. Stir chili powder, paprika, cumin, chipotle pepper, black pepper, and dry mustard together in a small bowl; sprinkle over pork. Pour water over pork. Cook, covered, on Low until pork is very tender, about 6 hours.

Remove pork from slow cooker and shred with 2 forks. Return pork to juices in the cooker. Stir in barbecue sauce.

Spoon 1/3 cup pork evenly onto each bun bottom; top each with 1/2 cup slaw and top bun.

We chose to top the pork with a red cabbage version of our Bright Idea Slaw: First mix 2 cups shredded cabbage with 2 cups matchstick-cut green apples and 2 tablespoons green onions. Whisk together 1/4 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt, 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar, 2 teaspoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in another bowl. Add to vegetable mixture and toss to coat. Makes 6 half-cup servings.

If you don't like vinegar-based sauces, try Annie's(TM) Organic Original BBQ Sauce.
