Try these Slow-Cooked Barbecued Pork Sandwiches when you’re going to be away from your kitchen but want something delicious to serve to your family for supper.
Sometimes the simplest recipes turn into your favorites. Like this one that uses a dry onion soup mix to give a pork roast a wonderful, delicious flavor. Cooked to a fall-off-the-bone tenderness for meat that practically melts in your mouth.

Ingredients for Slow-Cooked Barbecued Pork Sandwiches
(See full recipe at the bottom of this post.)
- Boston Butt pork roast
- onion soup mix
- water
- freshly ground black pepper
- favorite barbecue sauce (We like Sweet Baby Rays)
- package of your favorite hamburger buns or ciabatta rolls
Instructions for Making This Recipe
Gather all your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
Place the Boston Butt pork roast in a large slow cooker with the widest part down.
If you don’t have access to a Boston Butt pork roast, which is one half of a shoulder roast, you may substitute it with a picnic shoulder roast, or even a pork loin roast (although it will be a leaner cut of meat and will not be as tender.)
Sprinkle with onion soup mix and freshly ground black pepper.
When buying a dry onion soup mix, don’t worry about using a name brand such as Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix. I’ve used store brands with perfect success.
Pour water over the soup mix.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours until the meat falls away from the bone.
Using a fork, shred the meat and pour your favorite barbecue sauce over all, stirring to combine.
Cover once again, and allow to cook on low an additional 40-60 minutes. Serve on warm hamburger buns or ciabatta rolls.
This recipe will serve 6-8 people. Serve with Easy Macaroni and Cheese, Yummy Baked Beans, Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad, or Grandma’s Coleslaw.
