BBQ Pork Sammies in the Slow Cooker!

I normally use a pork tenderloin but, since the chops
were less fatty and on sale, I wanted to see if I could get 
great tasting sandwiches using chops. These were awesome!
I love using my slow-cooker on the weekends when we are busy. 
I can rely on a great meal with not a lot of fuss!  I usually butter and 
toast the buns too - gives an added flavor to the sandwich.  I hope
you make this and remember - you can always use  your own favorite BBQ sauce. Best Pulled Pork Sammies in town!  ~Enjoy!

**Homemade Barbecue Sauce....Just Like Sweet Baby Ray
 
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups ketchup
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup pineapple juice (or you can sub apple cider vinegar)
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (use less if you don't like the heat)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/8 cold water mixed with 1 tablespoon corn starch (optional)

Directions:
Combine all the ingredients except the water and corn starch mixture in a medium size sauce pot. Bring to a boil and reduce and simmer for five minutes or until all the sugar has dissolved. If you like a thicker BBQ Sauce add the water and corn starch mixture. Simmer until desired thickness is reached, but watch closely. It thickens really fast! Serve immediately or cover and store in fridge. Makes 2.5 Cups
