Ingredients

• 1 medium yellow onion

• 28 oz reduced-sodium beef broth
• 1 (18 oz) bottle sweet and spicy barbecue sauce
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 boneless Boston butt pork roast (about 3 ½ lb)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps

1. Cut onion into thick slices; place onions and garlic in slow cooker. Add broth, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and pepper; stir to combine, then add pork roast (wash hands). Cover and cook on HIGH 6–8 hours until pork is fork-tender and 200°F (for shreddable).
2. Remove pork from slow cooker. Combine cornstarch and water until blended; stir into sauce mixture in slow cooker and bring to a boil. Boil 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Shred pork using 2 forks. Split buns, if needed. Strain sauce into medium bowl, discarding solids. Serve pork on buns, topped with sauce. (Pork makes 6 servings; sauce makes 24 servings.)
