• 1 cup root beer
• 2 tbsp minced garlic

Preparation

Step 1

Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut roast to fit into slow cooker.

Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, brown meat on all sides in hot oil. Drain.

Transfer meat to slow cooker. Add onions, 1 cup root beer and garlic. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.

Meanwhile, for the sauce, in medium saucepan combine the 3 cups root beer and chili sauce. Bring to boil; reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally about 30 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 2 cups. If desired, add root beer and bottled hot pepper sauce.

Transfer roast to a cutting board or serving platter.

Using a slotted spoon, remove onions from cooking juices and place on serving plate. Discard juices.

Using 2 forks, pull meat apart into shreds.

To serve, line buns with lettuce and tomato slices. Add meat and onions; spoon on sauce.
