Anyone can do this. My usual disclaimer: since I don’t measure unless I’m baking, this recipe is up for tweaking and a little intuition. I have full confidence that it is nearly impossible to mess up slow cooked meat and BBQ sauce.
2 2 lb. pork sirloin tip roasts
garlic powder, salt, pepper,
For BBQ Sauce:
1 15 oz. can of tomato sauce, save empty can for measuring
about 1/3 empty can, cider vinegar, more or less depending on tangy preference
about 1/4 empty can, honey
about 1 cup brown sugar, less if you are not into sweet BBQ
about 1 tablespoon, liquid smoke
lots of cracked pepper
salt
To serve:
cheddar cheese
red onion
kaiser rolls, hamburger buns, or slices of bread
Place both pork roasts in slow cooker and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Turn to low, and cook for 8 hours. Shred pork with two forks inside slow cooker. Do not drain liquid.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine tomato sauce, and all other ingredients, and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour sauce directly into slow cooker. Combine. (*Double the BBQ sauce recipe if you plan to serve with sauce on the side….or you can always serve with the store-bought stuff.)
Serve on rolls or bread, with sliced cheddar and thinly slice red onion. Heavenly.

Yum! Can I substitute beef for the pork?
Yes! You can definitely use beef instead of pork. You may want to use a cut of beef that’s not too lean…
Mmmm, my favorite kind of meal…slow cooked, shredded meat with a homemade sauce. We’ll definitely try this!
Hi Ruth! Thank you for your comment. I think your blog is lovely, your header is SO CUTE! Thanks for introducing yourself, I love meeting new people.
Sounds like a great recipe for feeding a crowd a casual meal. In the deep south we often eat BBQ sandwiches with a bit of slaw on them, I’ll bet yours would be delish that way too! The pregnant mama’s mouth is watering.
