SOUTHWEST PULLED PORK

Southwest Pulled Pork image

I made these sandwiches on a whim one Sunday when friends called to say they wanted to drop by in the afternoon. I was able to feed them and my neighbors a casual supper. If you have time, you can coat the roast with the rub and store it, covered, in the fridge several hours before cooking for even more flavor. -Deb LeBlanc, Phillipsburg, Kansas
