Memphis-Style Pulled Pork

1. Cut onion into thick slices; place in slow cooker with garlic cloves. Add broth, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and pepper to slow cooker and stir to combine; add pork roast gently (wash hands). Cover and cook on HIGH 6–8 hours until pork is fork-tender and 145°F.
2. Remove pork from slow cooker. Combine cornstarch and water until blended; stir into sauce mixture in slow cooker and bring to a boil. Boil 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Shred pork using 2 forks. Split buns, if needed. Strain sauce into medium bowl (discard onions and garlic). Serve pork on sandwich rolls topped with sauce. (Pork makes 6 servings; sauce makes 24 servings.)
