Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds pork loin, trimmed of fat and cut into 3 pieces
1 large carrot, peeled and shredded (1 cup)
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice (2 cups)
1 medium onion, cut in half and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
12-ounce jar barbecue sauce
8 whole wheat hamburger buns, lightly toasted

Directions

1

Add the pork, carrot, bell pepper, onion, and barbecue sauce to a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker, and stir to combine (you can also add half the barbecue sauce now and stir in the rest when the dish is done).
2

Cover and cook on low until the pork is tender, 6 to 8 hours.
3

When the meat is done, remove from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board.
4

Use two forks to pull the meat into shredded pieces.
5

Stir the meat back into the slow cooker until it is well combined with the sauce (the vegetables virtually disappear).
6

Divide the pork mixture evenly between the hamburger buns and serve.
