Pulled Pork Sandwiches

OK, it is a really busy time for Pork Roast recipes - I told Laura I would post this recipe for Pulled Pork Sandwiches.

Pork Roast (Boston Butt or shoulder pork roast are best) - 6 or 7 pounds

Dry rub:

3 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper

5 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar

3 tablespoons paprika

2 tablespoons coarse salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (you can leave this out if you don't want it spicy)

for a 7 lb roast, I cut it into 3 big pieces, then rubbed the rub on all the sides of it, then threw into the crock pot, poured a little bit of Worcestershire Sauce on low for 9 hours (overnight or all day), then put two forks into the crockpot and pulled all the roast into little shreds. When it is all pulled apart, pour a whole bottle of barbecue sauce over the whole thing and warm that up for about 30 minutes or as long as you want. Serve on buns/rolls.

This makes a lot - probably enough for 15-20 sandwiches (at least). I made this for a ward activity and it was a pretty big hit (I liked it anyway). I would say 3-4 people for each pound of meat - depending on how much they are planning on eating anyway.
