Sloppy Joe Filling

(gluten free, low carb, low glycemic without bread)

Ingredients:

 1-2 lb pork roast (rump or any cheaper cut is fine--slow

cooking makes it tender!)

 Seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder

 dash of beer, cola, or broth

 ¼ jar or bottle of barbecue sauce (to make your own, see

recipe above!)

Directions:

1. Season meat with spices, add to the personal slow cooker.

2. If meat is fatty, less liquid can be used. If leaner, add more

liquid.

3. Cook on high 4 hours.

4. Open and shred with forks.

5. Add sauce to meat and cook on high another 30 minutes to

let the sauce become one with the meat.

6. Serve over rolls or in sandwiches. Store in the refrigerator

and eat it all week--it’s even better the next day!
