Equipment

1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients

5 pound pork butt
1 medium white or yellow onion cut into slices
1 jar barbecue sauce
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
8 hamburger buns

Dry Rub

1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano

Chipotle Slaw

3/4 cup Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon diced chipotle chile from 1 can of chipotles in adobo
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 bag of Cole slaw
5-6 green onions sliced
1/8 cup chopped cilantro
Salt pepper

Instructions

In a bowl mix all the dry rub spices and set aside
Rinse pork and pat dry with paper towels.
Rub the Dijon mustard all over the pork. Then rub the spice mixture over the pork until well coated. Place into a baking pan fat side up. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator overnight.
Place the sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the pork roast on top and add a 1/2 cup water and cook on low 8-10 hours.
Shred the pork using two forks in the juice. With tongs remove from slow cooker and place into a pan.
Leave the extra juice in the slow cooker to moisten the pork later. Toss with a little barbecue sauce. Place under broiler for 3-5 minutes to get some crispy bark goodness.

For the Chipotle slaw

In a large bowl add the shredded cabbage, green onions, and cilantro
In a separate bowl whisk the mayo, chipotle chiles, and lime juice and pour over the cabbage. Toss to combine.
Pile the pulled pork on buns with the coleslaw and enjoy!

Notes

*Any type of mustard will work

*Pork shoulder will also work

*You can use 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder instead of chipotles in adobo sauce. If you use the chiptoles in the can place the leftovers in a ziplock bag and freeze for another use.
