Today’s recipe is my version of barbecue pork. Who doesn’t love a good bbq pork sandwich? Of course, I use my crock pot for this recipe. It also only requires 3 ingredients.
All you need is some barbecue sauce, root beer, and a pork loin roast. It cooks for 6-8 hours on low. You end up with a moist, tender, and flavorful pork.
So simple! It’s also delicious! This is great served with 5 cup fruit salad, macaroni salad (in the photo), or my potato salad.
Barbecue Pork
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3 lb to 4 lb) pork roast
- 2 (12 oz. cans) root beer
- 1 (16oz-18 oz) bottle of barbecue sauce (I used Cattlemen’s Smokehouse)
- a little extra root beer
Instructions
- Place you roast in the crock pot. Pour in the root beer. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Remove roast from crock pot and shred. Dump out liquid from the crock pot.
- Return shredded meat to crock pot. Add bottle of barbecue sauce. Then add enough root beer to make desired wetness. (This will all depend on how thick your sauce is, I probably add at least 1/4 cup). Serve on buns or rolls. Serves 12- 16.

I had to laugh when I saw this post…not because of the recipe (which I love!!!), but because I was just about to post this same recipe soon! (: I’ve noticed a pattern that way…I get these great recipe ideas to post, and then someone else beats me to the punch!–or in this case, root beer! (: I guess I’ve got to be quicker! (:
This one really does taste good, and it’s so simple!

I love how carbonated drinks tenderize meat in the crock pot. I’ve never tried root beer, but my family loves it, so I plan on giving this a try!

When I saw this recipie this morning I was sure I was going to make it for dinner today, but then I found out I didn’t have any root beer on hand. I just love root beer and can’t wait to try this out. It looks super yummy. Thanks for sharing! In fact all your recipies look great.
