Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

So I actually make pulled pork quite often I usually use a bottle of our favorite BBQ sauce Sweet Baby Ray's & then add a small can of shredded pineapple with the juice to it. Super yummy!!

Sometimes I forget pineapple & just use BBQ sauce & a little apple juice!!

Well I got bored of that recipe & was looking for another I had found this Root Beer Pulled Pork on Pinterest of course & it's funny shortly after I found that one of my girlfriends had recommended that to another friend so I figured it must be good! So I decided to give it a whorl & it was so YUMMMY!!! Here is the original recipe I found on Pinterest  Root Beer Pulled Pork


We don't really drink soda so I didn't want to get a pack of cans to just use one so I just got a 2lt & I actually just about filled my crock pot with the soda it about covered the small pork loin maybe 3-4lbs.
I forgot to put it in during the morning so I ended cooking mine for 4 hours on high! So easy just cook it in the soda then pull the pork out, dump the soda, shred  the pork & put back in crock pot turn to WARM & smother in BBQ sauce. Serve when ready!!

My kids ate their whole sandwiches tonight I think this may top my other recipe for awhile :)

I actually got another meal out of this we made Pork tacos 2 nights later! I was a little skeptical because if it's not "normal" to me I tend to stray away my husband really wanted to try them so we loaded some warmed tortilla shells with the meat some lettuce, cheese (I also used shredded carrot) & topped with salsa & it was delicious!!!

I love getting 2 meals out of something & it's even better when it's not exactly the same thing.




Have you ever made either? If not try it :)

  1. Root beer pulled pork is great! Hubby makes this a lot and it's so easy and sooooo good! The taco looks great, too. We'll have to try that next time we have the pulled pork.

  2. Awe man what a waste of root beer! lol I dont drink much soda, and root beer is about it. A 2 liter will last me all week, sometimes longer. Chad makes the best pulled pork I have ever tasted. Even his friends agree ha ha. I will have to get his recipe for you because he knows it so its not written down. I want to say its apple juice and apple cider vinegar. with some seasonings (I forget). I would try it to see how we like it, but I know I would never be able to use another pulled pork recipe other than his lol

    2. Right! I will have to try to convince him to at least try it once.. He has been wanting to make pulled pork again for a while and because it takes so long we keep forgetting to get the stuff the night before so we can start it in the morning..
