Ingredients

  • 1 (3 lb) pork roast, trimmed of all fat
  • 2 cups onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 6 ounces tomato paste (small can)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder (the hot stuff. Chipotle works well, too)
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 garlic cloves (add or subtract to your heart's content)
  • pepper
  • For Garnish
  • 8 -12 kaiser rolls

Method

  • Add all ingredients EXCEPT PORK to the slow cooker.
  • Divide pork into quarters.
  • In a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, sear pork on all sides.
  • Add the pork to the slow cooker and mix with the sauce.
  • Cook for 8 hours on low.
  • After cooking time has completed, use two forks to pull the pork apart. If you are unable to shred the pork, it isn't fully cooked yet.
