Crockpot Barbecue Sandwiches

Tonight's dinner was perfect after a randomly rainy afternoon. Our house was energetic today with 6 kids running around playing while I made dinner with my neighbor.

I was requested to make baked mozzarella sticks for an appetizer (Mozzarella Cheese Sticks). They only lasted for 5 minutes before the plate was licked clean. I guess this is a major hit in our house.

This recipe I have made a few times now and every time my kids scarf it right up. My littlest is a picker and my oldest is particular about her meat, so when I am able to get it in them I am a happy mom.

We like our meat covered in sauce. I place a batch of sauce on the meat while it cooks in the crockpot and then a second batch on the meat after it is shredded.
