Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 4 hours
Yields: 4 servings

Get ready to sink your teeth into the most mouthwatering, finger-licking, and indulgent Root Beer Pulled Pork with Root Beer BBQ Sauce of your life!

This recipe is a game-changer, folks! It’s ridiculously easy to throw together, feeds a crowd, and is perfect for any occasion. And the best part? You get not one, but TWO recipes in one – the pulled pork and the BBQ sauce!

First, let’s talk about the pulled pork. You’ll need a Crock Pot/slow cooker and a boneless pork center cut roast (or pork tenderloin, if you prefer). Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of fatty cuts – just trim the excess and you’re good to go!

Next, whip up a quick dry rub using dark brown sugar, salt, and pepper. If you like a little heat, add some cayenne pepper to the mix! Coat that pork roast with the dry rub, then place it in the slow cooker on top of a chopped onion and some garlic. Pour in a whole bottle of root beer (yes, you read that right – root beer!) and let it simmer for about 4 hours on high.

Once it’s done, shred that pork with two forks in the slow cooker (or use your stand mixer, if you’re feeling fancy!). Keep it in the juices to keep it moist and tender.

Now, onto the Root Beer BBQ Sauce! This is where things get really exciting. Simply add all the ingredients into a saucepan, bring it to a simmer for 10 minutes, and voilà! You’ve got a sauce that’s perfect for slathering on your pulled pork (or using as a dip, if you’re feeling extra saucy!).

This sauce will last about 2 weeks in your refrigerator, stored airtight. And if you’re in a pinch, you can sub out the root beer with other sodas – but trust us, the root beer is the real MVP here!

So, what are you waiting for? Get ready to indulge in the most epic pulled pork experience of your life, complete with a side of tangy, sweet, and utterly addictive Root Beer BBQ Sauce!

Happy eating, friends!
