Are you looking for a mouthwatering pulled pork burger recipe? If so, you have come to the right place. I have just the recipe for you. It is a slow cooker pulled pork burger recipe that is easy, delicious and satisfying. It is one of my go-to recipes when I want to impress my family and friends with a homemade burger that is out of this world. Let me show you how I made it and why you should make it too.
The Secret to This Pulled Pork Burger Recipe
The secret to this pulled pork burger recipe is the slow cooker. It makes the pork so tender, juicy and flavorful that it melts in your mouth. You just need a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker to make this amazing dish. Here are the steps:
- Season the pork shoulder with a homemade spice rub. It has brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and cayenne pepper. Rub it all over the meat and let it sit for a while. This gives the pork a nice crust and a lot of flavor. You can also do this step the night before and refrigerate the pork for more flavor.
- Sear the pork on all sides in a hot skillet. This helps to lock in the juices and create more flavor. Then, transfer the pork to your slow cooker and pour some chicken broth and apple cider vinegar over it. The broth and vinegar help to keep the pork moist and tender during the long cooking time. They also add some acidity and depth to the sauce.
- Cover the slow cooker and let it do its magic for 8 hours on low. The smell is amazing. You can hardly wait to taste it. After 8 hours, the pork is so soft that it falls apart with a fork. Shred it and toss it with some barbecue sauce. You can use your favorite store-bought sauce, or make your own if you prefer.
How to Assemble Your Pulled Pork Burgers
Once your pulled pork is ready, you can assemble your burgers. This is the fun part. You can customize your burgers according to your taste and preference. Here is how I did it:
- Toast some hamburger buns and assemble your burgers. Pile some pulled pork on the bottom bun, top it with some coleslaw and pickles, and add the top bun. The result is incredible. The pulled pork is sweet, smoky and tangy. The coleslaw adds some crunch and creaminess. The pickles add some acidity and freshness. The bun is soft and warm. It is a perfect bite.
