Barbeque Pulled Pork Sandwiches

recipe from Our Best Bites

I am really trying to bring on the summer vibes here. We're on our 3rd round of croup at our house and I have just decided it is definitely time for winter to be over!  So... enjoy a taste of summer barbeque at it's finest with these yummy and easy pulled pork sandwiches. 

3 lb. boneless pork shoulder
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Smoked paprika or liquid smoke
About 12 oz. of your favorite BBQ sauce (Bullseye anyone?)
About 12 high-quality rolls

Coleslaw 
Thick-cut dill pickle slices

Rinse pork roast well in cold water and trim off excess fat.  Pat dry.  Sprinkle roast with liquid smoke and seasonings and place the meat in a disposable freezer-safe container or gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
When ready to cook, place the seasoned roast in a slow cooker and cook on low for 9-11 hours or on high for 6-8.  Shred and add BBQ sauce. Serve on rolls with coleslaw and pickle slices.

Side dish suggestions: French fries, baked potatoes, fresh fruit, etc.
