slow cooker pulled pork sandwiches

As promised, here is the recipe for the stellar pulled pork sammiches we made on Sunday night. Seriously serious delicious meat. I could truly eat it every day.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup (packed) brown sugar
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder (more if you like it hotter or smokier)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 pounds pork shoulder blade roast (bone in or out doesn't really matter -- bone in gives it additional flavour but can take a bit longer to cook, we went with bone in)
Delicious rolls of your choice

In slow-cooker pot, stir onion, ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, tomato paste, paprika, chili powder, Worcestershire, mustard, salt, and pepper until combined. Add pork to sauce mixture and turn to coat well with sauce.
Cover slow cooker with lid and cook pork mixture on low setting as manufacturer directs, 8 to 10 hours or until pork is very tender.
With tongs, transfer pork to large bowl. Turn setting on slow cooker to high; cover and heat sauce to boiling to thicken and reduce slightly.
While sauce boils, with 2 forks, pull pork into shreds. Return shredded pork to slow cooker and toss with sauce to combine. Cover slow cooker and heat through on high setting if necessary.
Spoon pork mixture onto bottom of sandwich buns; replace tops of buns. Serve sandwiches with pickles, potato chips, and hot sauce if you like.

*If you want you can marinate the pork in the sauce overnight -- that's what we did and it likely cut down the cooking time and made it all delicious-like*

Oh man, do I ever love my slow cooker even more now....
