Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I made these last night for my parents and they were a hit so thought I'd share the recipe. I'm sure my Mom will also appreciate finding this recipe easier since I'll pop it on Pinterest too. On a side note, I got her all set up on Pinterest a few days ago and she's a pinning machine now! Have fun Mom!

Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Ingredients:

• 4lb Pork Roast
• Minced Onion - this is a family preference. You can use one large onion.
• 5 Whole Cloves
• 3 Cups Water
• 16oz BBQ Sauce
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Rolls or Hamburger Buns

Directions:

1. If you are using the large onion, slice it and place it on the bottom of your slow cooker.
2. Cover your Pork Roast in salt, pepper, garlic pepper, minced onion on all sides and place in the slow cooker.
3. Place cloves on the top of the roast.
4. Fill the crock pot with the water - it should be about 2/3's of the way full and not covering the roast.
5. Cook the roast on LOW for 8 to 10 hours. You can cook it on HIGH for 4-6 if you are in a hurry or get up late!
6. Remove the roast from the cooker, discard the cloves, and remove excess fat.
7. Place roast in a large bowl and shred with two forks. It should fall apart very easily.
8. Once shredded, add BBQ sauce to the bowl and mix well. You can use as much or as little BBQ sauce as you like.
9. Serve on rolls or hamburger buns with your favorite toppings! Enjoy!

This recipe is easily altered to make it your own with different spices, your favorite BBQ sauce, some people put the shredded pork back in the crock pot with the BBQ sauce to simmer and really meld the flavors. All up to you! Have your own variation? I've love to hear about it in the comments!
