Equipment

  • 5-quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds boneless pork loin roast
  • 14.5 ounces beef broth
  • 0.83 cup Worcestershire sauce divided
  • 0.58 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce divided
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup prepared mustard
  • 10 whole wheat kaiser rolls or buns

Instructions
 

  • Cut the pork roast in half and place it in a 5-quart slow cooker. In a small bowl, stir together the beef broth, 1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce, and 1/3 cup hot sauce. Pour this mixture over the pork.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, until the meat is very tender and falls apart easily with a fork.
  • Remove the pork from the slow cooker and discard the cooking liquid. Using two forks, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, molasses, mustard, remaining 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, and remaining 1/4 cup hot sauce. Pour this sauce over the shredded pork.
  • Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes, until the pork is heated through and the sauce is well combined. Serve on whole wheat rolls for a hearty lunch box meal.
