Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pork

Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better and improves flavor.

In a small bowl, combine:

• Smoked paprika
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Chili powder
• Brown sugar

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the pork until fully coated.

Step 2: Prepare the Slow Cooker

Place sliced onions and minced garlic into the bottom of the slow cooker.

Set the seasoned pork on top.

Pour the apple cider around the pork, not directly over the top so the seasoning stays in place.

Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard if using.
