I tried this great crock pot recipe from the Recipe Shoebox today for Root Beer Pulled Pork Sandwiches, and it was delicious!  I love meals that I can throw in the crock pot and still go about our day, and not have to stress out at dinner time.

This recipe is so simple and it is fun since you get to cook with Root Beer!

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 to 3 -pound pork sirloin roast
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1 Tbs. vegetable oil
• 2 medium onions, cut into thin wedges
• 4 cups root beer, divided  (DON’T use diet root beer)
• 2 Tbs. minced garlic
• 1 bottle  (12-ounces)  chili sauce
• Several dashes bottled hot pepper sauce, to taste (optional)
• 8-10 hamburger buns, toasted

Directions:  Trim fat  from pork if necessary.  Add salt and pepper to meat, in a large skillet brown meat on all sides in hot oil.  Drain off fat.  Transfer meat to slow cooker.  Add onions, only ONE CUP of the root beer, and garlic.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.

For Sauce: in medium saucepan combine the remaining root beer (3 cups) and the jar of chili sauce.  Bring to boiling; reduce heat.  Boil gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally , about 30 minutes or until mixture has reduced to 2 cups.  If desired, add hot pepper sauce to taste.

Discard cooking juices from crock pot, remove onions with an open ladle.

Add sauce to the meat to desired taste, add onions and EAT!

I even topped my sandwich with cole slaw!
