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.

SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK
If you've spent any time on Pinterest or food blogs, you've likely come across a recipe for three-ingredient barbecue pulled pork that can be made in the slow cooker. Methods and ingredients vary, but the recipe almost always calls for boneless pork shoulder, some sort of dark cola (usually Dr Pepper or root beer) and barbecue sauce. Dubious? We were too, so we asked the members of our NYT Cooking Community Facebook page if anyone had ever made it and if they liked it. We received more than 150 very opinionated responses. Many readers have come up with their own clever twists, like using coffee or beer in place of cola, adding onions or chipotles, rubbing the meat with a spice blend and searing the meat before cooking. We tried cooking it a few different ways and found we liked this adaptation best. It calls for a few more ingredients and an extra step or two, but it's got layers of flavor and it's still mostly fuss-free. (You can find the pressure-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
- Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
- Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the best cut for pulled pork. It's fatty and flavorful, and it becomes tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
- Use a flavorful root beer: The root beer adds a unique sweetness and depth of flavor to the pulled pork. Choose a root beer that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor will come through in the final dish.
- Brown the pork before cooking: Browning the pork in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop its flavor and create a nice crust.
- Cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the pork to become fall-apart tender. If you're short on time, you can cook it on high for 4-6 hours, but the pork may not be as tender.
- Shred the pork with two forks: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks. This is the easiest way to get pulled pork that is tender and juicy.
- Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork is delicious served on its own, but it's also great with classic sides like coleslaw, baked beans, and mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker pulled pork with root beer sauce is an easy and delicious meal that's perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and tender pulled pork that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, give this recipe a try.
