So, I recently had this crazy idea while I was eating a boring, supermarket burger. I thought: what would happen if I combined the juicy tenderness of slow-cooked pulled pork with the classic American burger? This recipe is the amazing result. It all started with a late night, fueled by a craving for something better than usual. What started as an experiment quickly turned into my new favorite go-to burger. Seriously, it's that good.
Imagine this: the smoky, sweet aroma of perfectly slow-cooked pork, the tang of apple cider vinegar adding a little zest, and the satisfaction of making something truly awesome. It's a burger experience that elevates the ordinary to something extraordinary. You are about to embark on a culinary adventure, my friend. Let's do this!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, make sure you have about 3 lbs of pork shoulder. I prefer bone-in, because it adds such amazing flavor. But, use what you've got, pal!
- Pat that pork shoulder dry with paper towels. This helps it get nice and brown when searing. Trust me on this one; it makes a difference!
- Next up, season that pork like a boss! Get yourself some salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and a little cayenne if you like things with a kick. Go wild, have some fun! Rub it all over that beautiful pork.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear that pork shoulder on all sides until it's golden brown and delicious looking. I'm talking a nice crust here!
- Now, pour in one cup of chicken broth and one cup of apple cider vinegar (again, the vinegar adds something special!). Toss in a chopped onion, two cloves of minced garlic, and a bay leaf.
- Bring everything to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let that pork braise away for around 2-3 hours. Or, you can transfer it to a slow cooker at this point (low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours).
- Once the pork is fork-tender (meaning you can easily shred it with a fork) and reaches an internal temperature of 190-195°F (88-91°C), pull it out carefully.
- Let it rest for about 15 minutes before shredding it using two forks. This is where the magic happens! You'll get those beautiful tender, juicy strands of pork. So satisfying!
- Once it's shredded, you can mix in a little extra of the braising liquid to keep it nice and moist. I always end up adding a bit more.
- Now, to make your amazing burgers, pile some pulled pork onto a burger bun. Get creative with toppings! Coleslaw, pickles, your favorite sauce… this is your moment to shine!
- Serve immediately and enjoy the best pulled pork burger you've ever tasted.Seriously, you're going to LOVE this!
