Calories 422kcal
Ingredients
- 1 3.5 lb pork shoulder or pork loin - can also use bone-in pork butt 5-6 lbs.
- 3 tablespoons freshly ground coffee grounds
- 1 onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- ½ cup cider vinegar
- ½ cup ketchup
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup stone ground mustard
- ¼ cup Buffalo Sauce I used Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Place the pork in the slow cooker. Peel the onion and place the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Pour everything over the pork in the slow cooker. Put the lid on tightly. Cook for eight hours on high.
- While this is cooking prepare a coleslaw salad and toast the burger buns. This is a big sloppy sandwich and you'll want the buns toasted so they hold up well to all of the ingredients.
- When the cooking is complete, remove the pork from the cooker. Place it in a large bowl to cool and shred.
- Reserve the cooking liquid. Pour it thru a sieve, you should have about 3 cups of liquid.
- Add liquid to a heavy bottom sauce pan and add 1 ½ cups of water and one 8 oz. can of tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil until it's reduced by half. Keep an eye on it as you don't want it to boil over or scorch - this will take about 20 minutes. The sauce will thicken just a bit - it is tangy and delicious!
- When the sauce is done pour over the shredded pork and combine. Assemble the sandwiches - top with pork, extra sauce and a big dollop of coleslaw.
