Super easy, very cost effective and incredibly tasty. Wondering what to do with leftovers? They certainly make great sandwiches the next day...or even burritos. In fact, on July 5 after a fun filled evening over indulgence, we had friends over to partake in pork, egg, roasted corn, refried bean, cilantro, cheddar breakfast burritos. YUM.

Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 3-4 # Pork Shoulder Roast
- Chili Powder
- Kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- Pepper
- Paprika
- 1 T sugar
- 2 beers
- 6 kaiser rolls
- BBQ sauce
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Place roast in large roasting pan, on a rack (you don't want the roast to sit in its own fat)
- Rub the roast with all seasonings and pressed garlic
- Sprinkle with sugar
- Place in high temp oven for 1 hour
- Turn heat down to 250 degrees
- Pour two beers into roasting pan and cover with foil
- Cook for 3-4 hours
- Using a sharp knife begin slicing meat - it should shred easily
- Warm BBQ sauce and serve on the side
- Warm and slice Kaiser rolls
To serve as a buffet, transfer the pulled pork and desired juices to your crock pot. This will allow the meat to stay warm and moist (to use Sarah Wu's fav word!). Pour warmed BBQ sauce into serving container and let everyone make their own sandwich. I like mine Carolina style...which means top the meat with a spoonful of slaw ...mmmmm.
