Steps:
- Place pork roast in the bottom of the Instant Pot.

- Drain the root beer out of the Instant Pot and place the shredded roast back inside. Stir in the bottle of BBQ sauce.
- Place meat on hamburger buns or rolls and serve.

SLOW COOKER PULLED PORK WITH ROOT BEER
Easy slow cooker pork shoulder is excellent for making delicious pulled pork sandwiches or serving as an entree. Serve over rice or with Hawaiian sweet bread for a yummy little sandwich. I like to top the pulled pork with sliced roasted red peppers, blue cheese, and chimichurri sauce to make a delicious sandwich with Argentinean flavor.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork.Pork shoulder (also known as Boston butt) or pork tenderloin are both good choices for pulled pork sandwiches. Pork shoulder is more flavorful, but it takes longer to cook. Pork tenderloin is leaner and more tender, but it can be more expensive.
- Don't overcook the pork.Pulled pork should be cooked until it is tender and juicy, but not dry and tough. The best way to tell if pork is done is to use a meat thermometer. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
- Use a good quality root beer.The root beer in the barbecue sauce is what gives it its unique flavor. Be sure to use a root beer that you enjoy drinking.
- Let the barbecue sauce simmer.The longer the barbecue sauce simmers, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
- Serve the pulled pork sandwiches with your favorite toppings.Some popular toppings for pulled pork sandwiches include coleslaw, onion rings, and pickles.
Conclusion:
Pulled pork sandwiches with root beer barbecue sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The pork is tender and juicy, the barbecue sauce is sweet and tangy, and the coleslaw adds a bit of crunch. These sandwiches are perfect for a summer cookout or a casual get-together.
