6 fresh garlic cloves
2 (14-ounce) cans reduced-sodium beef broth
1 (18-ounce) bottle Memphis-style barbecue sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 boneless Boston butt pork roast (about 3 1/2 lb)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
6 Bakery French (or regular) Hamburger Rolls
Steps
- Remove ends and peel from onion; slice thickly and place in slow cooker with garlic cloves. Stir in broth, barbecue sauce, sugar, vinegar, and pepper; add pork roast gently (wash hands). Cover and cook on high 6–8 hours or until pork is fork tender.
