Instructions

In a slow cooker, whisk together the root beer, BBQ sauce, salt and pepper. Add pork shoulder. Heat on low for about 8 hours.
Shred pork with two forks and return to sauce.
Serve on a bun with additional BBQ sauce, if desired.

Notes

Whisk together the marinade first. Add all the sauce ingredients and the root beer to the bottom of your slow cooker. Whisk them together before adding the pork so the meat gets evenly marinated.
Shred with forks. After the pork is done cooking, remove it from the pot and shred it in a separate bowl. Then, add it back to the slow cooker to recombine with the marinade.
Substitute. Use Coca-Cola instead of root beer for a similar flavor and texture!
Storage. Keep leftover pork in a covered container int he refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat and enjoy.
Freeze. Use a vacuum sealer or airtight container to store leftover pulled pork in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight.
