Crock Pot Pulled Pork

I just made this for a get together my daughter was having and thought I would share it with you all.

One large pork butt roast (bone in)
Crock Pot large enough to hold roast
2 liter bottle of Regular Root Beer
Your Favorite pork rub
Sweet Baby Ray's Barb B Que sauce

I apply a generous amount of the rub to entire roast and place in crock pot. Pour root beer in careful not to wash off the rub. Fill so that roast is almost covered. Turn on crock pot to high and cook for 5 to 6 hours. I do flip the roast once halfway through. You will know its done as roast starts to fall apart. Drain liquid and remove bone. The bone pulls right out.

I use my hands (clean of course) and pull apart the meat. Once "shredded" I add the Sweet Baby Ray's to taste and keep crock pot on warm. Serve with a side of cole slaw and it goes over great!

Enjoy!

    No it doesn't. Try the Coke also. Both are being used as much for their sugar as anything.

  • my brother made that recipe for our mothers birthday party one year. darn good stuff.
  • That is one of our favorite simple recipes for a large camping group!! We actually use 2 pork tenderloins and cook for about 5-6 hours on low.
  • Try it sometime with some cinnamon in the mix. It will add a taste that you can not pick out right away, but will see it is just right!
