Pulled Pork Sandwiches
2 1/2 pounds pork shoulder
1 cup peeled and shredded carrot (1 large carrot)
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup water or beer (I used Corona)
1 (12 ounce) jar bbq sauce (the final taste of the meat really depends on the quality of the bbq sauce so try to buy a good brand)
8 whole wheat hamburger buns, toasted
Add the pork, carrot, bell pepper, onion, water or beer, and half the bbq sauce to a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
After 4 hours on high, drain about 3/4 of the liquid. Take out the pork, chop the meat coarsely and discard the excess fat. Put the pork back in the slow cooker and add the other half bottle of bbq sauce to the pot. Cover and cook on high for 4 more hours.
When the meat is done, remove from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Use two forks to pull the meat into shredded pieces. Put the meat back into the slow cooker, divide the pork mixture evenly between the hamburger buns and serve.
