1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit into a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. In the cooker, combine onion and sweet pepper. Add meat; sprinkle with thyme and rosemary. Pour broth over meat.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 9 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
3. Meanwhile, for barbecue sauce, in a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, black pepper, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
4. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Using two forks, pull meat apart into shreds, discarding fat. Strain vegetable mixture, discarding liquid. Return shredded meat and strained vegetables to cooker. Stir in barbecue sauce. If using high-heat setting, turn to low-heat setting Cover and cook for 1 hour.
5. To serve, spoon meat mixture onto bun bottoms. Top with coleslaw and pickles. Add bun tops.

My family and I thought this was awful. Way too heavy on vinegar and thyme. We ended up throwing it out.
5/6/2012 09:30:22 PM Report AbuseMade this and LOVED it !! The whole family enjoyed it ( including my 2 VERY picky 2&4yro) It made a little more than we could eat so the hubby took the left overs to work with him and all of his Army buddies loved it too !! Also I think the coleslaw ON it took the sauce down a notch or too ( which I liked ) .
4/24/2012 06:15:57 PM Report AbuseWhen Applebee's took pulled pork tacos off their menu I was ecstatic to find this recipe. I made it my own and left out the green peppers and instead of putting them on buns (which I bet is still amazing) I make fry wonton wrappers into taco shells and serve them as pulled pork tacos. Much better than Applebee's in my opinion. This is a monthly recipe in my house and my boyfriend's boss loves when I send leftovers to the office!
3/7/2012 02:07:23 PM Report AbuseAfter all the time taken for this recipe, perhaps I expected too much. In any case no one in my family liked this recipe at all, and I am very easy to please. I found the taste extremely sweet and repulsive. I should have just poured a bottle of barbecue sauce over the pulled pork. We ate about 1 1/2 sliders worth and threw the rest of the 5 pounds away. This recipe goes in the shredder.
