Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Rub the Pork with Paprika, Garlic powder, Onion powder, Salt, and Black pepper.
Place the Pork in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours, until it is very tender.
Shred the Pork using two forks and mix with the BBQ Sauce.
Cook the Elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain.
In a large saucepan, melt the Butter over medium heat. Whisk in the All-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in the Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the Cheddar cheese, Salt, and Black pepper until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combine the cooked macaroni and shredded Pork with BBQ Sauce into the cheese sauce. Stir well.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
