DIRECTIONS FOR SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK:

Place the pork in the bottom of the crock pot

Dice the onion and sprinkle around the meat in the slow cooker

Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl

Spread on top of the pork.

Cover and cook on high 7-8 hours.

After 7 or 8 hours, remove the pork

Shred the meat using a fork and place back into the slow cooker.

Cook for an additional 15 minutes so the meat soaks up the juices.
