I made this pulled pork recipe a few days ago. I thought we could get 2, maybe 3 meals out of it. NOT! Scott couldn't get enough of it! When he was finally finished, there was about 1/4 of a cup of pulled pork left. You'd think he could have just finished the whole thing!
I had it cooking all day while I was at work. Scott and Alyssa were home so I felt safer leaving the oven on. Being that I wasn't going to be home until 7 1/2 hours later, I lowered the temp to 285 instead of 300. When I got home, it was PERFECT! I made the sauce, pulled the pork and it was done! I made the coleslaw the day earlier so that the flavors would meld together. YUM. Great dinner and extremely EASY! I also would have never thought of putting coleslaw on a pulled pork sandwick but boy was that good! Once again, Tyler comes through!

Directions
Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spice blend all over the pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Put the pork in a roasting pan and roast it for about 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer stuck into the thickest part of the pork should register 170 degrees F, but basically, what you want to do is to roast it until it's falling apart.
While the pork is roasting, make the barbecue sauce. Combine the vinegar, mustard, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, salt, cayenne, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring, for 10 minutes until the sugar dissolves. Take it off the heat and let it sit until you're ready for it.
When the pork is done, take it out of the oven and put it on a large platter. Allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. While it's resting, deglaze the pan over medium heat with 3/4 cup water, scraping with a wooden spoon to pick up all of the browned bits. Reduce by about half. Pour that into the saucepan with the sauce and cook 5 minutes.
While the pork is still warm, you want to "pull" the meat: Grab 2 forks. Using 1 to steady the meat, use the other to "pull" shreds of meat off the roast. Put the shredded pork in a bowl and pour half of the sauce over. Stir it all up well so that the pork is coated with the sauce.
To serve, spoon the pulled pork mixture onto the bottom half of each hamburger bun, and top with some slaw. Serve with pickle spears and the remaining sauce on the side.
