This Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Root Beer will be an absolute hit at your next BBQ. No oven, no fuss, just cooking it low and slow in the crockpot. The pork is cooked in a rich sauce of root beer, BBQ sauce, and the perfect combination of seasonings for extra flavor until it is fall-apart tender. Pile it on a soft bun and top with crunchy coleslaw for the ultimate pork sandwich.
Pour half of the bottle of BBQ sauce over the pork.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the meat is falling apart.
Discard any remaining fat from the pork. Shred the pork using two forks or meat claws and return to the slow cooker. Top with the rest of the BBQ sauce and stir to combine.
Serve on buns with coleslaw, or as desired.
Notes
To check for doneness, use a meat thermometer to make sure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 205°F.For a kick of spice add a bit of red pepper flakes.Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
