Barbequed Pulled Pork

Simple, satisfying and flavorful! I put this recipe together in my crock pot one morning and after work served it to guests. The meat becomes very tender and rich in flavor. Served on a toasted kaiser bun along with a salad or chips and you will get rave reviews. With Christmas just around the corner I like to have a few quick no fuss meals for those busy days. This is a budget friendly meal as well.

Meat:

1 3-4 pound boneless pork roast

If roast has a string around it, cut it off. Place roast into crock pot.

Sauce: (it doesn't get easier than this)

-1 bottle regular flavored BBQ sauce (any brand you like)

-1/2 cup apple juice (I buy juice boxes to have on hand for this)

-1/2 small onion, chopped fine (optional)

-1/4 cup water

Stir together ingredients and pour over roast. Cover and cook for 8 hours on low heat.

Pulling the pork:

Take roast out of crock pot and put onto a cookie sheet. Cut away any fatty pieces you see. Using two forks shred meat into stringy pieces. Skim off any fat on the top of the sauce left in the crock pot, and return meat to the sauce. Stir well to combine with BBQ sauce. The meat will absorb the sauce.

Toast kaiser buns and pile the meat on top. Serve open face or sandwich style. I like to heat extra BBQ sauce to serve on the side. Enjoy with your favorite side salad. Serves 4-6.
