A flavorful and tender pulled pork recipe made with root beer and barbecue sauce, perfect for sandwiches or as a main dish.
Prepare the onion by peeling and slicing it thinly.
Slicing the onion thinly ensures it cooks evenly and infuses its flavor into the pork.
Place the pork shoulder and sliced onion into the slow cooker.
Arrange the onion slices under and around the pork for even flavor distribution.
Pour the root beer over the pork and onion, ensuring it covers the bottom of the slow cooker.
Using a flavorful root beer enhances the sweetness of the dish.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Shredding the pork while it's warm makes the process easier.
Drain the liquid from the slow cooker, leaving the onions.
Reserve a small amount of the liquid if you prefer a juicier pulled pork.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix in the barbecue sauce.
Adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to your taste preference.
Cook on low for an additional hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir occasionally to ensure the sauce evenly coats the pork.
Serve the pulled pork warm on buns, with coleslaw or your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
