BBQ Pork

Not very traditional, but the easiest recipe ever for a crowd and the garlic makes it extra yummy. Courtesy of my friend Julie

Slow cooker BBQ Pork Sandwiches
Serves 6-8

4-5 lb piece of pork. Loin is the leanest, but the fattier butt roast is great too if you remove the extra chunks of fat at the end of cooking. Ask your butcher. If you get a fattier piece you need more meat. If its a loin roast, 1/2 a pound per person should be plenty.

1 Large bottle of BBQ sauce or a couple small ones

As many peeled cloves of garlic as you can manage. Costco sells giant tubs of them for $5 and you can throw in 1/2 the tub if you want.

Put all the ingredients in the slow cooker on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10. Remove pork & shred, removing any superfluous fat. Throw shredded meat back into the cooking liquid and serve in the cooker or in a separate bowl. The garlic will have cooked and softened like roasted garlic, make sure to put a few cloves on each sandwich. Serve on Hamburger buns with extra BBQ sauce, a salad, cornbread, etc.
