This past weekend over Memorial Day, we made pulled pork in a smoker. It didn’t quite turn out like pulled pork should have. It could of cooked a bit longer, but we were hungry and it was done enough to eat! Don’t get me wrong it was great tasting, but it didn’t shred. That made me have a craving for some “real” pulled pork. Originally I was going to make home made rolls with it for sliders, but when I was at the grocery store I found a brand new item! Pepperidge Farm now makes whole wheat slider rolls! This recipe is one of my own creations, as I just put together a few spices and let them cook in the crock pot! There is about 496 calories per serving, which is two sliders. It makes about 8-9 servings.
Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon of packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons of paprika
2 tablespoons of onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of allspice
3/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
2 lb bone in pork shoulder roast
Directions:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, paprika , onion powder, chili powder,salt, garlic powder and allspice. sprinkle 1 tablespoon into the bottom of a slow cooker. Rub remaining mixture over pork. Add vinegar and remaining brown sugar to slow cooker, stir till blended. Add the pork shoulder.
- Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours until pork is fork tender and easily shreds. It should almost fall apart when you pick it up. Remove pork and pull into shreds. Place some on buns and eat!
Enjoy!

This sounds delicious! It can be difficult sometimes to find low cal recipes that also taste great. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, patience is a virtue when it comes to smoking or grilling pulled pork or ribs – it’s so hard to wait! Another way to cheat is to cook pork tenderloin in the oven for about 2-3 hours, then shred, then add the BBQ sauce – that’s how one of the caterers I used to work for did it
