1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 onions, finely chopped

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns

1 cup tomato-based chili sauce

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon liquid smoke

1 boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat, about 3 pounds

Kaiser or onion buns, halved and warmed

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft. Add garlic, chili powder, and pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.

Place pork in slow cooker stoneware and pour sauce over. Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours or on high for 6 hours, until pork is falling apart.

Transfer pork to a cutting board and pull the meat apart in shreds, using two forks. Return to sauce and keep warm. When ready to serve, spoon shredded pork and sauce over warm buns.
