Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin pork shoulder or pork butt can also be used
- 1 can root beer or cola 12 oz.
- 1 bottle barbecue sauce 18 oz.
- 8 hamburger buns toasted if desired
- Additional BBQ sauce for serving (if desired)
Instructions
- Place the pork tenderloin in a slow cooker. Pour the root beer over the meat. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or until pork shreds easily with a fork.
- After pork is cooked, drain and discard the root beer. Shred the pork and place it back in the slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce over the pork and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately or keep warm in slow cooker until ready to serve. Serve on hamburger buns with additional BBQ sauce, if desired.
Notes
- This cut is called shoulder or butt – they are from slightly different parts of the animal, but cook up great in this application.
