🥘 Ingredients

• • pork roast
• • onions
• • ginger ale
• • barbecue sauce

📝 Instructions

1. 1 slice one onion and place in crock pot
2. 2 put in the roast and cover with the other onion , sliced
3. 3 pour over the ginger ale
4. 4 cover and cook on low for about 12 hours
5. 5 remove the meat , strain and save the onions , discard all liquid
6. 6 with two forks , shred the meat , discarding any remaining fat , bones or skin
7. 7 most of the fat will have melted away
8. 8 return the shredded meat and the onions to the crock pot , stir in the barbecue sauce
9. 9 continue to cook for another 4 to 6 hours on low
10. 10 serve with hamburger buns or rolls and additional barbecue sauce
11. 11 any leftovers freeze very well
12. 12 these make a great quick meal or snack
13. 13 to reheat , remove wrapping , wrap in a paper towel , and zap 1-2 minute in the microwave
14. 14 other cuts do not shred as readily
15. 15 it is a fattier cut , but the fat melts away in the cooking and is poured away when you discard the liquid
16. 16 the above times work perfectly for me
17. 17 but if you have a newer or bigger crock pot , you may need to revise times downward , esp
18. 18 after the bbq sauce is added
19. 19 i think you need at least a couple of hours for it all to meld , but that may be all you need
20. 20 update: i recently bought a bigger crockpot , i think 5 or 6 qts
21. 21 i cooked a 6 lb pork shoulder in it for 8 hours and it was shreddable at that point
22. 22 shredded , added the sauce , and cooked for another hour or so to meld everything
23. 23 so use your best judgment on timing !
24. 24 i think this may depend on the size and shape of your roast and the size of your slow cooker
25. 25 remember that each time you remove the lid you lose heat and be careful , as turning a large piece of meat is awkward
26. 26 i don't have one , up to you to figure out the steps
