- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite or homemade)
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pulled Pork
-
Season the Pork:
Rub the pork shoulder with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. -
Cook the Pork:
- Slow Cooker: Place the pork in a slow cooker with barbecue sauce and chicken stock. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until tender.
- Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place pork in a roasting pan, cover with foil, and bake for 1.5-2 hours, basting occasionally, until it easily pulls apart with a fork.
-
Shred the Pork:
Remove the pork from the cooking liquid and shred it with two forks. Mix in a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid to keep it moist.
Step 2: Cook the Burgers
-
Season and Grill:
Season Brown Pearcy burger patties with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 3: Assemble the Burgers
-
Start with the Base:
Spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce on the bottom half of each brioche bun. -
Layer the Ingredients:
Place a burger patty on each bun, followed by a generous helping of pulled pork. Top with sliced tomato, onion, and lettuce if desired. -
Top It Off:
Add more barbecue sauce if you like, then place the top bun on your burger.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair these gourmet burgers with crispy sweet potato fries, coleslaw, or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal.
Chef’s Tip:
For extra smoky flavor, grill the burger patties and buns. To take it up a notch, try adding a slice of melted cheddar or a dollop of spicy aioli on top of the pulled pork!
