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.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) or pork loin are ideal for pulled pork, as they are well-marbled and will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
Sear the pork before slow cooking. This step will help to caramelize the outside of the pork and give it a smoky flavor.
Use a flavorful marinade or rub. This will help to infuse the pork with flavor as it cooks.
Cook the pork on low heat for at least 8 hours. This will allow the pork to become fall-apart tender.
Shred the pork with two forks. This is the easiest way to shred the pork without overworking it.
Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker root beer pulled pork is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner.
