Saucy Chipotle Barbecue Pork

My kids request this all the time. This spicy barbecue pork recipe cooks up an ample amount of sauce - a delicious bonus for barbecue sauce lovers. Use it for dripping over a sandwich, dipping fries, dressing baked potatoes (our family's personal favorite!), or over a yummy green salad.

2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground red pepper
1 (4-5 lb.) boneless pork butt roast, cut in half
2 Tbs. butter
1 large onion, chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 (18-oz.) bottle spicy original barbecue sauce (we use KC Masterpiece)
1 (l2-oz.) bottle Baja Chipotle Marinade (we use Lawry's…look for it by the bottled marinades and barbecue sauces)

Garnish: sliced green onions
Baked potatoes if you are going to serve the pork over the top like our family does.

Rub first 3 ingredients evenly over pork. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 10 minutes or until browned on all sides. Place onion and pork in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add barbecue sauce and marinade. Cover and cook on HIGH 7 hours or until pork is tender and shreds easily. Remove pork to a large bowl, reserving; shred pork. Stir shredded pork into sauce. Serve as is, over a cheese-topped baked potato, in a sandwich, or over a green salad. Garnish, if desired.
