Print: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Root Beer Recipe

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.
