Crock Pot Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches

(great freezer meal option!)

Ingredients:

2 lbs pork roast (shoulder or butt)
1 large onions
1/2 cup ginger ale
9 oz. (1/2 bottle) favorite barbecue sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
Barbecue sauce, for serving

Directions:
Slice the onion and place 1/2 in crock pot. Put in the roast and cover with the other half of the onion. Pour the ginger ale over the contents of the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for about 6-8 hours. Turn roast over after 3-4 hours.

Remove the meat, strain and save the onions, discard all liquid. With two forks, shred the meat, discarding any remaining fat, bones or skin. Most of the fat will have melted away.

Return the shredded meat and the onions to the crock pot, stir in the barbecue sauce. Continue to cook for another 2-3 hours on low.

Serve with hamburger buns or rolls and additional barbecue sauce. Any leftovers freeze very well.

Serves 5.

Freezing:

Cook as directed. Freeze ready-made sandwiches - a scoop of meat on a bun, individually well-wrapped with plastic wrap. These make a great quick meal or snack. To reheat, remove wrapping, wrap in a paper towel, and zap 1-2 minutes in the microwave or in the oven tightly wrapped in foil at 400 degrees for approx.15-20 min or until cooked through.
