Slow-Cooked Barbecue Pork Sandwiches

Makes: 6 sandwiches

It's magic! You put the meat and sauce in the pot, and hours later come back to enjoy the ready-to-eat sandwich filling.

1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup purchased sweet-and-sour sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
2 pounds boneless country-style pork ribs, trimmed of fat, cut into 2-inch pieces
6 Kaiser rolls, split

In 3 1/2 to 4-quart slow cooker, combine all ingredients except pork and rolls; mix well. Add pork; stir to coat.

Cover; cook on LOW setting for 8 to 10 hours.

Remove pork from slow cooker. Shred pork by pulling apart with 2 forks. Add pork back to sauce in slow cooker; mix well. If desired, to toast rolls, place cut sides up on ungreased cookie sheet; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon about 1/2 cup pork mixture into each roll.

Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer's directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.
