Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

This recipe comes from my lovely sister and it is definitely a crowd-pleaser (and super easy, so good stuff all around).  In general, this works for whatever sized pork roast is on sale at the grocery, but my sister has also used this for chicken and beef and it's turned out great each time.  So, pick your favorite meat and get ready for a reminder of summer time picnics!

Ingredients
1 chuck roast or pork loin or some frozen chicken breast - whatever tickles your fancy
1/2 cup Italian dressing
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce

Directions
Mix last three ingredients together, pour over meat in slow cooker, and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4 hours.  Once everything is done cooking, use two forks to shred the meat.  (The mix will probably look like it's going to be too wet, but once you shred up the meat, everything soaks in and you get a nice liquid/meat ratio.) Serve on buns with a pickle and enjoy!

Helpful Notes
- I used Newman's Own Light Italian dressing and it worked really well, plus it's pretty low in calories, so win-win.

- I served this on King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls and it was magical.  I definitely recommend them!

- You can also add a little coleslaw on top of your pulled pork  sandwich and it's quite yummy. :)
