SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK WITH ROOT BEER



Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Root Beer image

Easy slow cooker pork shoulder is excellent for making delicious pulled pork sandwiches or serving as an entree. Serve over rice or with Hawaiian sweet bread for a yummy little sandwich. I like to top the pulled pork with sliced roasted red peppers, blue cheese, and chimichurri sauce to make a delicious sandwich with Argentinean flavor.

SLOW COOKER BEER PULLED PORK



Slow Cooker Beer Pulled Pork image

My way of making pulled pork is simple: slow cooker, 1 can of beer, a 5 to 6 pound pork butt, seasonings, and a bottle of barbecue sauce. My beer choice is Shiner Bock®. My seasoning choices are salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. My barbecue sauce choice is Sweet Baby Ray's®. Just put it in a slow cooker before you go to bed and when you wake up the magic has happened. See for yourself. This recipe is perfect for a party, and you can even prepare 2 and feed around 30 people. Serve on onion or hamburger buns.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful.
  • Sear the pork before slow-cooking: Searing the pork in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop a nice crust and lock in the flavor.
  • Use a good quality beer: The beer you use will add flavor to the pulled pork, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Add some spices and herbs: Spices and herbs can help to enhance the flavor of the pulled pork. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, chili powder, and cumin.
  • Cook the pulled pork on low heat for a long time: The longer you cook the pulled pork, the more tender it will be. Cook it for at least 8 hours, or up to 12 hours.
  • Shred the pulled pork: Once the pulled pork is cooked, shred it with two forks. This will make it easier to eat and serve.
  • Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and baked beans.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker beer pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a casual meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tender and flavorful pulled pork that everyone will love.
