Kneaders BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

This is my new favorite pulled pork recipe. I use Lillie's Carolina Barbeque Sauce that I find at Whole Foods. Yum!

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tbsp chili powder

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 (about 3.5 lb) pork shoulder roast (or pork loin. I like to buy the large pork loins at Costco. One pork loin is enough for three meals for our family)

1 onion, roughly sliced

1 tsp minced garlic

1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce, divided

4 cups water

your favorite rolls or buns

coleslaw, for garnish (optional)

cilantro, for garnish (optional)

red onion, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture onto the pork until it is thoroughly coated.

Placed the sliced onion and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add water to the slow cooker. Add the pork covered by a 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce. Cook the roast on high until it is very tender and easy to shred, about 6 hours.

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place in a 9x13 dish. Strain and discard the cooking liquid from the slow cooker, keeping the onion. 

Shred the pork. Return it, and the onions, to the slow cooker. Mix in the remaining cup of barbecue sauce. Cook until heated through. 

Serve on rolls or buns with desired toppings such as coleslaw or cilantro.
