Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large onions thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup cider vinegar
- 1 cup chili sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons chipotle chile in adobo sauce minced (see notes)
- 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder or butt roast trimmed
- 8 sandwich rolls

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook. Stir occasionally until they begin to soften, about 3 to 6 minutes.
- Add sugar and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the onions are golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes more.
- Add garlic, oregano, pepper and salt and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add vinegar and bring to a boil.
- Cook until mostly evaporated, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in chili sauce and chipotle to taste.
- Place pork into a 4-quart (or larger) slow cooker. Pour sauce all over the top. Cover and cook until the pork is almost falling apart, about 3-4 hours on HIGH or 7-8 hours on LOW.
- Uncover pork and transfer it to a cutting board. Shred the roast using two forks.
- Add pork back to sauce in the crock pot and stir to combine. Cover and keep WARM until ready to serve.
- Use tongs to porting pulled pork onto resh rolls for serving. Top with coleslaw mix if desired.

Notes
- If you like your food spicier, you can add up to 3 teaspoons of chipotle to the sauce. After you use the chipotle chilis in adobo sauce, they will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or up to 6 months in the freezer.
