Easy Crockpot Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Easy Crockpot Pulled Pork Sandwiches use a slow-cooked pork shoulder rubbed with a seasoned dry rub and cooked with sliced onions in a crockpot. After cooking, the pork is shredded and mixed with BBQ sauce. The sandwich is served on hamburger buns topped with extra barbecue sauce. This method creates tender, flavorful pulled pork that is moist from cooking in its own juices with onions.
