With tongs, remove pork bones from slow cooker. If needed, pull pork meat apart using two forks and gently combine with sauce again.

Spread pork and sauce evenly over crust. Top with the shredded cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, or longer, until crust is golden, and cheese is starting to brown. Top with sliced green onion. Let cool a bit before slicing!
