Slow Cooker Shredded Pork Barbecue

Barbecue is always a favorite, and this particular pork is tender, juicy, and flavorful. Pile it on a sandwich bun and top with coleslaw, if desired. Serve with a simple salad, steamed veggies, chips, potato salad, fries, fruit, or baked beans. It's also great served on top of cornbread!
