Pulled Pork with Root Beer Sauce - Slow Cooker!!
Pulled Pork with Root Beer Sauce - Slow cooker!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 8-10 hours (low), 4-5 hours (high)
2.5 to 3 # pork sirloin roast
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp cooking oil
2 medium onions, cut into thin wedges
1 c root beer (don't use diet!!)
6 cloves garlic, minced
3 c root beer
1 c bottled chili sauce
1/4 tsp root beer concentrate (optional - I skipped it - Pricey.)
Several dashes bottled hot pepper sauce (optional - Did use this.)
8 to 10 hamburger buns, split
Lettuce leaves (optional)
Tomato slices (optional)
1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit into slow cooker. Sprinkle meat with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet brown meat on all sides in hot oil. Drain off fat. Transfer meat to cooker. Add onion, the 1 cup root beer, and the garlic.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.
3. Meanwhile, for sauce, in a saucepan stir together the 3 cups root beer and the chili sauce. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 2 cups. If desired, add root beer concentrate and hot pepper sauce.
4. Transfer meat to cutting board or serving platter (I left it in the slow cooker). Using two forks, pull meat apart into shreds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer onion to serving platter; discard cooking juices. If desired, line buns with lettuce leaves and tomato slices. Place shredded meat and onion on rolls. Drizzle meat with some of the root beer sauce.
Yield: 8 to 10 sandwiches

This sounded a little weird, but I was intrigued enough to try it. Plus I love slow cooker meals in winter. :) It was sooooo delicious!! It didn't need the lettuce and tomato, but it was good with it. I served these with some homemade creamy coleslaw and some wavy potato chips.
