SLOW COOKER SOUTHERN BARBECUE PORK ON A BUN



Slow Cooker Southern Barbecue Pork on a Bun image

This is a really nice pork sandwich recipe that I found in the Chicago Sun-Times and fixed tonight for dinner. Plan ahead a bit as it has to marinate overnight but it's great the next day, just dump it in the slow cooker and let it rip. It makes a lot of sauce so I saved the leftover sauce and plan to use it on BBQ chicken this coming week. These sandwiches were really good served on DotM's Hamburger Buns, recipe #89932! prep time includes marinading time.
