BBQ Pulled Pork

This is a great recipe that practically makes itself. I found pork loin on sale last weekend and was searching for a recipe to make something delicious that my 4 year old would like to eat. It is made in a crock pot and only has 4 ingredients. I have to admit, I was sceptical about it but the finished product exceeded my expectations. Olivia had a pulled pork sandwich for dinner tonight and she cleaned her plate, which almost never happens...She came to me after dinner and said:" Mommy, thank you for dinner! You really know how to make the yummiest food" This is a ringing endorsement from 4 year old if I've ever heard one. Give it a try if you're looking for hands off dinner.



* 1 (4-5 pound) pork loin
* 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle root beer
* 1 bottle favorite barbecue sauce ( I used Bulls Eye Original)
* Hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted

Place the pork loin in a crock pot and pour the root beer over the meat. Cover and cook on low until well cooked and the pork shreds easily, 8 hours. Drain well. Stir in barbecue sauce. Serve over hamburger buns.

  2. Sylwia, this sounds very good. I may try this next time I do pulled pork. The one I make is an all day process and I just don't make it as often as my Sweetie-Pi would like because of all the work.

    Just a question. In your narrative you say 5 ingredients, but the ingredient list shows 4, including the hamburger buns.

  3. Thanks so much guys!

    Katy, it should have been 4 instead of 5 ingredients. Thanks for pointing it out! I hope you'll try it and enjoy as much as we did.

  4. Don't you just love the crockpot! Why didn't I use it all those years I worked??? Never mind, it's fun now. I'm waiting for our corn chowder as I type.

  7. Ok, so this recipe looked too good to pass up. So, I garnered the ingredients--easy to remember--and planned on making it this morning for tonight's dinner. Unfortunately, the ingredients were easier to remember than the steps involved! I poured everything, including a little onion, into the crockpot (except the buns) and left for work. NOW I notice I was supposed to cook the meat in root beer only...I hope mine turns out as good as yours! We'll see in...9 hrs!!
