Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I am a big fan of the slow cooker and this is one of my favorite recipes to make in it - the longer it cooks the better! With the military we lived in North Carolina for awhile and we are now in Kansas City - 2 big barbecue places and a lot of competition out there, but my family still loved these sandwiches!

Ingredients

• 4 lb pork roast
• 10-12 cloves
• 3 white onions
• 16-24 oz bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
• salt and pepper
• Buns

Season the pork roast with salt and pepper. Stud the roast with the cloves. Slice 2 onions (about 1/4 in. thick slices) and place 1 on the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the roast on top of the onion slices and put the other sliced onion on top of the roast. Fill the cooker 2/3 full of water. Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours.

Remove roast and discard cloves and any fat or bone. Let the roast cool while you clean out the slow cooker - discard of all water, onions, grease, etc. Chop the third onion and set aside. When the roast is cool enough to handle, use a fork or your hands and pull apart the roast until it is shredded.

Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker. Mix in the chopped onion and BBQ sauce. Heat on high 1-3 hours. Serve on your favorite style bun. Enjoy!

Tips...

1. If you are serving this for dinner it is best to put it in the slow cooker in the morning. If you would like to serve it for lunch you can put it in the slow cooker at night and let it cook on low all night. This roast cooks for a total of 9-15 hours. If you run out of time, you can cook it on high for 4-6 hours instead of the 8-12, but it may not be as tender and harder to shred.
2. Best pork roast to use is a lean, boneless cut.
3. Don't be afraid to use more BBQ sauce - if you like your sandwiches sloppy and extra saucy...yummy!
