Anyone make the pulled pork with root beer? Updated!!

pork shoulder is the best part from all I've been reading and the bone just makes it better!

I haven't done root beer, but have used Dr. Pepper. Yummy!!

Yes, you put the pork roast in a crock pot, add one can of root beer. Let it cook for 10-12 hours. Drain the liquid, shred the meat with forks and add BBQ sauce.

I've only made it with a pork butt roast, but all pork roasts are pretty fatty, so I imagine that will be delicious.

I've used both. I always trim the fat, rub it with spices, pour rootbeer over the pork and cook it in a Dutch oven. I prefer cooking it in the oven instead of the crockpot because it gives it more of a roasted flavor.

Cooking in the oven also concentrates and reduces the liquid. When the pork is done I remove the pork from the pan and remove the bone and any excess fat from the meat. I then shred the pork. before returning the shredded pork to the pan, I skim off the excess fat from the liquid. After placing the shredded pork back in the Dutch oven, then I add our favorite barbecue sauce and continue cooking for about another hour.

It's our favorite way to eat pulled pork.

I typically use a bone in pork butt for carnitas. Next time you do it, throw in some orange juice with your root beer.

I roasted a bone-in pork shoulder Sunday. It was the most moist pork roast ever, and very tasty. I've used Coke on pulled pork.

Hmmm, I think I'll try that with Cream Soda or Pepsi.
