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.
Ingreadients :
- 1 (3 1/2) pound boneless pork shoulder
- 8 fluid ounces root beer
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Step by Step :
- Pat pork shoulder dry and place in a slow cooker. Pour root beer over pork.
- Mix together brown sugar, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle on top of pork and rub lightly until entire surface of pork is coated.
- Cook on Low for 5 hours. Switch to High and cook until meat is tender and can easily be pulled apart with a fork, about 3 hours more. Carefully remove pork and shred with 2 forks. Drizzle some liquid from the slow cooker over pork to moisten.
