Pulled Pork Sandwiches


Ingredients:

Roast~
2 lbs pork roast
1 bottle favorite bbq sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 can favorite cola
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp minced garlic

Jalapeno Spread~
4 oz 1/3 fat cream cheese
2-3 tbsp. jalapenos
1/4 tsp chili powder

Coleslaw~
1 1/2 cups coleslaw mix
1/4 cup light mayo
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/8 cup sugar substitute ( I use Stevia )

Directions:
In crock pot mix all liquid ingredients and spices and place roast inside. Cook on low for 8 hours. When done shred with fork.

For the spread beat all ingredients on low with hand mixer until everything is easily spreadable.

I pre made the coleslaw mix overnight. It really has a chance to soak in the flavor. It will be slightly sweet, but that's to balance out the spiciness of the jalapeno spread.

I served these on top of a toasted brioche bun. You want something with substance ( maybe even a pretzel roll ) that's not going to get floppy because the meat, no matter how much you drain it, will be slightly wet. You don't need/want a soggy roll.

Serves 8-10 ( the meat is probably enough for 10, but the rolls only come in packages of 8 ).
