BBQ Pulled Pork

2.5-3 lb Pork Roast
1 bottle of favorite BBQ sauce
1 Tbsp brown sugar

Put Pork Roast in crock pot covered with water for 6-8 hours on Low.
Then drain water and fat. Shred Pork and put back in Crock pot.
Add BBQ Sauce and brown sugar. I would start with just 1/2 the bottle and add til you like it - if you add too much it is more BBQ than pork.
Cook on Low for an additional 1-2 hr

Freeze or Serve on Rolls.
