Pulled Pork with Barbecue Sauce

Thanks again to Denise for sharing another great recipe--this one is in response to the request for good slow cooker recipes. If you ask me, anything with the word "barbecue" in it sounds delicious.

Denise says this easy recipe is a staple in her home, and she sometimes doubles it to use the leftovers in recipes throughout the week. It's also good for potlucks or to share with other families.

I can think of so many uses for this--pulled pork sandwiches, pulled pork burritos, pulled pork sliders, pulled pork chalupas, pulled pork...(that's enough, Bubba). Leave a comment with your suggestions for the best way to use this great BBQ pork!

Pulled Pork with Barbecue Sauce

Recipe By: Lynn Alley, via Williams-Sonoma (the cookbook is called: The Gourmet Slow Cooker, Volume II)
Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:
2 pounds pork roast, any cut (Denise says bone-in gives the very best flavor)
2 cups ketchup
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions:
Place the pork in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, combine the ketchup, vinegar, water, onion, garlic, chili powder, and Worcestershire sauce and stir well. Pour the sauce over the roast. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, until the meat falls apart.
Remove the pork from the cooker and allow to cool slightly. Remove and discard any bones. Pull the meat into shreds using your fingers or two forks. Return the meat to the cooker and stir into the sauce. Serve warm.
