Crockpot Pulled Pork

I can't believe today is already Thursday.  This week has gone by a lot faster than last and I'm so thankful for it.  Tomorrow's weather is going to be beautiful and I can't wait to be outside again.  I have another 'pin' I've been working on for the girls that I'm hoping to complete tomorrow to share with you all.  Hint: it's made of wood and feels like you're at the beach :) I'm yearning to feel like I'm at the beach especially after yesterdays crazy weather.  We had hail for about a half hour.  The girls loved it! I would run outside like a crazy lady, collect the hail into a bowl, and bring it inside for the girls to play with.  The little things we do for our children. Needless to say, I was not cooking outside and wanted a dish to share with a neighbor who just had a baby.  To me the perfect dish for this is pulled pork and I found a great 'pin'.  All you need is a pork butt or shoulder, a can of your favorite soda, BBQ sauce and a crock pot.  You can't get simpler than that!

My Results:
 
2-3 pound pork tenderloin, pork shoulder or pork butt (I used a pork shoulder)
12 ounce can of root beer (I used Pepsi- the soda type doesn't matter it just acts as a tenderizer)
18 ounce bottle of barbecue sauce
8 hamburger buns

1. Place the pork in a slow cooker.

2. Pour the can of soda over the meat.

3. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until pork shreds easily with a fork. (I cooked mine at 8 hours)

4. After the pork has cooked, drain and discard the soda.

5. Shred the pork in the slow cooker.

6. Pour the barbecue sauce over the pork and stir to combine.

7. Serve immediately on buns or keep warm in slow cooker until ready to serve. This also freezes great!
