Many of us have a favorite type of food but there are often certain types of food that we can also agree on. One of those recipes is always going to be pulled pork and there is perhaps nothing better than a great pulled pork sandwich for an afternoon picnic or to enjoy at dinner time.
The problem is, most of us don’t have the time necessary to make the traditional pulled pork meal. That is about to change, however, thanks to this slow cooker root beer pulled pork recipe. Not only is it full of flavor, it is quite easy to make and it really just involves throwing the ingredients together in the crockpot and allowing it to do the work for you. Before you know it, you are going to be enjoying a pulled pork sandwich that is out of this world.
Ingredients:
3-4 pounds of boneless pork roast
2 cans of root beer
1 sweet onion, cut into large chunky pieces
1 cup brown sugar, divided
3-4 tablespoons minced garlic
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
1 package of large rolls or buns
Directions:
Start by adding the roast into the slow cooker and pouring the two cans of root beer over top.
Add in the onions.
And 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Stir the liquid up a bit so the sugar dissolves into the liquid. Then add salt and pepper to taste, and the rest of the brown sugar.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Pull the roast out of the slow cooker and use forks to pull apart the meat.
Add the meat into a skillet along with 1/4 cup of the slow cooker liquid, 1 cup of the onions, the garlic, and the barbeque sauce. Cook on a medium high heat until warm.
Serve on your rolls and enjoy!
