Pulled Pork Better Than Your Mama’s
Ingredients
- 0.125 ounce Carbonated
- 4 pound Pork
- 24 ounce Barbecue Sauce
Instructions
- Line or spray with Pam a large crock pot and place roast inside.
- Pour the root beer over the top (it should come at least half-way up the roast).
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours and meat is falling off the bone.
- Remove from crock pot onto 9×13 pan (I use my pyrex).
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using two forks shred roast while still hot (don’t let it cool down or it will be a lot harder to shred).
- Pour barbecue sauce over the top of meat and mix into meat.
- Place in hot oven and cook for 20-40 minutes (enough for the top and edges to start to brown a little extra.
- Remove from oven and serve on toasted buns or rolls (although you can use untoasted rolls, they fall apart easier).
