• 2 mix seasoning, onion, pepper flakes (optional), ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and apple juice until blended.
• 3 pour over lamb. cover. cook 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high (cook until tender and starts to fall apart when pulled with fork).
• 4 remove lamb from slow cooker, discard large pieces of fat. pour off liquid and reserve (optional-see note below).
• 5 pull meat apart with forks and return pot; add bottled bbq sauce to desired consistancy. mix and heat with sauce before serving.
• 6 note: if you prefer you can skim fat from reserved liquid, simmer on stove top to reduce, strain and thicken with 2 tablespoons corn starch in small amount of water to make your own tasty sauce, but this is a little more difficult and time consuming and this is supposed to be a quick and easy dinner. :-).
