Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Make this amazingly economical Southern specialty by slowly simmering a pork roast in a rich, slightly spicy sauce until very tender. Sandwiched between a soft bun, piled on top of a baked potato or yam or even eaten on its own, pulled pork is the versatile big batch dish we crave year-round.
