PULLED PORK

1 pork loin
1 C. Brown sugar
Sweet Baby Ray's Bar B Q Sauce

Put a cup of Brown sugar in the bottom of your Crock Pot.   Cut the pork Loin (I got mine at COSTCO) in half or even quarters so you can get it in the crock pot.  Cook the pork loin in the Crock pot for about 8 hours on low.  You will be able to see when it is cooked enough by the way it looks.  Dip out the excess liquids from the pork loin. (there may be several cups).

Separate the meat with a fork until it is in a "shredded" composite.  Then pour in a generous amount of Sweet Baby Rays Bar B Q sauce.  If you get the 80 ounce bottle from COSTCO, use at least 3/4 of the amount in the bottle. (about 60 Ozs.

Let the meat and sauce simmer in the crock pot for another 3 or 4 hours.

Serve as a sandwich, or  as a main dish.  this makes a lot.  So invite the extended family and the neighbors.
