I have a favorite crockpot meal.
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
3-4 lb. pork shoulder roast, boneless or bone-in
1 T. paprika
1 T. dried oregano
1 T. dried onions
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp celery salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. caraway seeds
mix all the spices together and rub all over the roast. Place it in a slow cooker--no liquid. Cover and cook until it falls apart. In my crock-pot it takes 8 hrs. on low. Remove from crockpot, and shred, removing fat and bones. Skim the fat from the juices in crockpot and return meat to pot. Serve on rolls with bbq sauce and coleslaw.
I just made 40 lbs. of this meat for my sons grad. open house. It really is yummy.

How about salad with store bought chicken salad or precooked chicken breasts?

Thanks! I'm making this for Father's Day today--I knew someone on here would have a recipe for a crockpot pork barbeque--I couldn't find one on Foodtv!
