This easy slow cooker pork shoulder with root beer is excellent for making delicious pulled pork sandwiches or as an entrée. Serve over rice or with Hawaiian sweet bread for a yummy little sandwich. I like to top the pulled pork with sliced roasted red peppers, blue cheese, and chimichurri sauce to make a delicious sandwich with Argentinean flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 3 ½
  • 8 fluids ounces root beer
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat pork shoulder dry and place in a slow cooker. Pour root beer over pork.

  2. 2

    Mix together brown sugar, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano in a small bowl until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle on top of pork and rub lightly until entire surface of pork is coated.

  3. 3

    Cook on Low for 5 hours. Switch to High and continue cooking until meat is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork, about 3 hours more.

  4. 4

    Carefully remove pork from the slow cooker and shred with 2 forks. Drizzle some liquid from the slow cooker over pork to moisten.
