Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

To make slow cooker pulled pork, you will start out with a 4 pound pork roast. You will also need some BBQ sauce and root beer. Root beer pulled pork has an incredible flavor. Do me a favor. If you have never tried it before, make this recipe. You won’t regret it. I used Not Your Father’s Root Beer because I really like the flavor. Stewart’s Root Beer has a great flavor as well, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand.

Place your pork roast in a crock pot. If you don’t have a Crock-Pot already, this one is a great inexpensive option.

Pour 1/2 bottle of Not Your Father’s Root Beer into the crock pot. Cover the pot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. If you have the time, try and cook it for 8 hours. It just gives the pork more time to soak in the root beer flavor.

Once the pork is done, it is time to shred it. Now you could do this with a fork, and sometimes I do that. But if you really want to be quick and save all the wear and tear on your hands, you’ll use shredding claws. These are my favorite shredding claws because they have handles and really make shredding a breeze.

Now it is time to smother that pork in BBQ sauce. If you have a favorite BBQ sauce, feel free to use it here. There are so many different varieties and flavors  to choose from. We used Sweet Baby Ray’s.

HOW DO YOU SERVE PULLED PORK

There are a variety of ways to serve this crock pot pulled pork. You can serve it on buns of course. It is also great on it’s own with a side of potato salad. I like using the leftovers to make pork nachos. Yum!

Eat At Home Meal Plans

Have you heard about Eat At Home Meal Plans? If the cost of eating out or the decision of what to make for dinner each night is stressing you out, then you must try these. When you sign up, you get access to four separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don’t worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.

Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).

That’s it! Dinner is on the table and you can enjoy a home cooked meal with the family – without the stress!

We all have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
