Root Beer BBQ Pulled Pork
Ingredients
  • 1 (4 pound) pork shoulder roast
  • 2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle root beer
  • 1 (4 fluid ounce) bottle liquid smoke flavoring, or to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic
Instructions
1
Place the pork roast in a slow cooker, sprinkling it generously with salt to enhance its flavor. Next, pour the root beer, liquid smoke, and minced garlic over the top of the pork roast to create a rich and savory sauce.
2
Allow the pork roast to cook in the slow cooker on Low for 8-10 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and tenderize the meat.
3
Once the pork roast is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and transfer it to a serving bowl.
4
Strain the liquid from the slow cooker through a fine-mesh strainer, discarding any excess or saving it for another use as suggested in the Editor's Notes.
5
Return the garlic cloves to the pork roast, allowing their flavors to blend once again with the meat.
6
Using two forks, shred the pork roast into tender and juicy strands. Finally, serve it with your favorite BBQ sauce to add a tangy and sweet contrast to the dish.
