To be safe, always use a meat thermometer. For pulled pork, you want the internal temperature to reach 205&deg;F.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Marinate overnight in the fridge with the root beer, seasonings, and half of the BBQ sauce if you have the time. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat more deeply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shred pork using a hand mixer to speed things up if you don&rsquo;t want to use the fork method. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check for doneness at about 7 hours. Remember that not all slow cookers cook at the same rate &mdash; some will take a little less time, and others will take a little more. The pork should be tender enough to easily shred with a fork.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additions and Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spice it up.<\/strong> Add red pepper flakes, a pinch of cayenne, or a spicy BBQ sauce if your like your pulled pork with a little bit of heat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use a different kind of soda<\/strong>. If you&rsquo;re not a fan of the root beer flavor, you can substitute it with Coca Cola or Dr. Pepper for a similar taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Try additional toppings<\/strong>. In addition to coleslaw, try topping the pulled pork with pickled red onions or jalape&ntilde;os for an extra tangy kick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add liquid smoke.<\/strong> Try adding a dash of liquid smoke to the slow cooker to give your pulled pork a deeper, smokier flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use different meats<\/strong>. If pork isn&rsquo;t your thing or you want to mix it up a bit, try the recipe with chicken or beef roast. Cooking times may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-pin-description=\"Slow cooker pulled pork with root beer take a boneless pork roast and cooks it low and slow in the crockpot in a rich sauce of root beer, BBQ sauce, and the perfect combination of seasonings.

First, it acts as a tenderizer. The acids and carbonation in the root beer help to break down the tough muscle fibers of the pork, making it super tender. Second, the sugars in the root beer caramelize during cooking, creating a delicious, sticky-sweet glaze that&rsquo;s simply irresistible.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685136863483\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the secret to moist pulled pork?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The phrase you&rsquo;ll most often hear for tender pork is to cook it &ldquo;low and slow.&rdquo; Slow cooking over a lower heat allows the fat and connective tissue in the pork to gradually break down and melt. This process tenderizes the meat, keeps it moist, and adds loads of flavor.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685136878774\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What can I substitute for the root beer?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Dr. Pepper and Coke are popular choices for this pork sandwich recipe because they also have a sweet flavor that works well with pork. Ginger ale could be another great option. If you&rsquo;re looking for something less sweet, you might even consider a hearty ale or stout. Just remember, the goal is to tenderize the meat and add a touch of sweetness.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1685313730843\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use diet root beer?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Sure, if you know you like diet soda, you can use diet root beer in this recipe to cut carbs, sugar, and calories.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy Slow Cooker Recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Love this root beer pulled pork recipe and want more slow cooker recipes for your family dinners?
