Slow Cooker Root Beer Pulled Pork

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 lbs boneless pork roast
• 12 oz root beer
• 1 large sweet onion

  cut into large chunky pieces
• 1 cup dark brown sugar

  divided
• 1 pinch pepper
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 ½ cups barbecue sauce

  more or less, to taste
• 12 buns

Instructions

• 1 Place the roast in the slow cooker.
• 2 Pour the root beer over top.
• 3 Toss in onion chunks, spread them around so they flavour well.
• 4 Drop half of the brown sugar in the juice around the pork and mix it up a bit.
  Then take the other half and spread it all over the top of the roast.
• 5 Salt and pepper as desired.
• 6 Pop the lid on the slow cooker, cook on low setting for about 6 to 8 hours,
  depending on your slow cooker. You want the meat to be soft enough to pull apart
  or "shred"
• 7 Once it's cooked you can take it out and set it on a cutting board. Turn off
  your slow cooker. Now you can cut the pork with a knife, or shred with two forks
  into bite sized pieces.
• 8 Now take a large frying pan, spray it with non stick spray. Heat over medium
  high heat, then pop the pork in there. Add about ¼ of the juice from the slow
  cooker, and use a spider or strainer to scoop out as much of the onions as
  possible. Pop those in the frying pan too. Give it a good stir then add the
  sauce and minced garlic. Continue to cook it until it's nice and toasty warm.
• 9 Scoop oodles of it onto buns.
• 10 Serve with a big old pork lovin' smile!
