12 ounces root beer (preferably made with real sugar)
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups Best Ever Barbecue Sauce (OR 1 (16-ounce) bottle of your favorite store-bought brand)
Freshly ground black pepper
Hawaiian rolls, small slider buns, or regular-sized buns
Instructions
Trim fat from pork and pierce all over surface with a knife. Place pork in slow cooker, pour root beer over top, and scatter garlic over surface, pressing into meat. Sprinkle liberally with pepper. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or until fall-apart tender.
OPTIONAL: While the pork is slow cooking, prepare the homemade barbecue sauce and the Broccoli Slaw (recipe below in NOTES).
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and place on a cutting board. Discard fat, cut meat into chunks with a knife, and then shred the chunks with two forks. Drain the liquid from the slow cooker and add the shredded meat back to the crock pot. Stir in 2 cups barbecue sauce (or more, if desired). You may also add a splash of water if the sauce seems too thick. Heat on LOW for 30 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Serve pulled pork on slider or regular buns topped with optional Broccoli Slaw.
