ROOT BEER PULLED PORK - slow cooker

So, in case you don't know I have a husband who I refer to as the BBQ king. He is a certified BBQ judge and has competed in a BBQ competition. He plans to do more competing. Aside from that he cooks up a pretty AMAZING pulled pork or ribs.....mmmmm..... and I don't mean your typical steaks on the grill. I have learned your normal BBQ at home is not really BBQ, but rather a grill. With that said, one would think I would be nervous to try a slow cooker pulled pork, however I know he will appreciate the attempt :)

Our kids were so sick last week that my shopping and meal planning didn't go so well, so that now leaves me in the morning searching for what I have to see what I can come up with. I found a Pork Shoulder in the freezer and thought root beer pulled pork. I had only heard of it and apparantly it is yummy.

Then I went searching for a recipe. I found a super easy one. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-pulled-pork/

INGREDIENTS

1 pork tenderloin (I used a pork shoulder)

1 can root beer (I am trying out using diet root beer as this is all I had, hopefully it turns out & I used about 2 cans as my pork shoulder was big)

1 bottle of your favourite BBQ sauce (I am using Sweet Baby Rays, Honey Chipotle flavour)

buns (the kids will have it on toast and the hubs and I will have Pulled Pork Caesar salads)

DIRECTIONS

Simply put your pork in the slow cooker, add the root beer (I did add an onion as well) and cook for 6-7 hours (I said 8 hours on my crock pot as my pork is larger and frozen). Drain the Root Beer, pulled your pork and stir in BBQ sauce.

Sounds too easy if you ask me but we will see how it goes.
