Barbequed Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Wow, I've obviously cooked since the last time I posted, however, I really got out of the habit of meal planning for the week. Then, some weeks I did it and then just didn't get around to posting it here. So, I'll just include what's for dinner tonight.

Barbecued Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Baked Beans, and Herb Garlic Potato & Vegetable Blend (from Schwans)

1 pork shoulder roast (about 2.5 lbs)
1 bottle (14 oz) barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 medium onion, chopped
8 hamburger buns or hard rolls.

* Place roast in crock pot. Cover; cook on low 10-12 hrs or on high for 5-6. Remove roast from crock pot; discard cooking liquid. Shred pork with 2 forks. Return roast to crock pot and add the barbecue sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar and onion. Cover; cook on high 1 hr or on low 2 hrs. Serve shredded pork on hamburger buns or hard rolls.
