Preparation

Step 1

Pulled Pork Roast:
Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut roast to fit into your 3 1/2- or 5-quart slow cooker.

Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown meat on all sides in the hot oil. Drain off fat, transfer meat to the cooker. Add onions, 1 cup of root beer and garlic.

Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours.

Transfer roast to cutting board or serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions from cooking juice and place on the serving platter. Discard juices.

Using 2 forks, pull meat apart into shreds.



Root Beer Sauce:
To make the sauce, combine in a medium saucepan 3 cups of root beer and the chili sauce.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes, or until mixture is reduced to 2 cups, if desired, add the bottled hot pepper sauce to the concentrated root beer.
