Description

Seasoned with a peppery brown sugar rub, this pork shoulder is baked low-and-slow in the oven until super tender and is perfect for serving during the big game.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder (such as McCormick® California Style)
1 1/2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup Dijon mustard (such as Hellmann's®)
8 pounds pork shoulder roast (butt roast), rind removed
1/2 cup barbeque sauce, or to taste
18 large hamburger buns, split

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
2 Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Spread mustard over pork roast and sprinkle with brown sugar mixture, using the entire amount. Line a shallow baking dish with aluminum foil. Place a rack in the prepared baking dish and arrange pork roast on rack.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until very tender, 9 to 11 hours. Let pork cool, then shred into bite-size pieces. Stir barbeque sauce into pork to moisten; serve with hamburger buns.
