3-Ingredient Pulled Pork

More About This Recipe

• This easy 3-Ingredient Pulled Pork can be thrown together in a slow cooker without much effort and without heating up your house. You can spend the day away from home and still come back to delicious, fall-apart tender pork for dinner. This recipe will work with a pork shoulder or butt, but we especially like it with a leaner pork tenderloin. Tenderloins don't have as much fat, so you don't need to trim them or worry about separating the meat and fat during shredding. And because the pork cooks in root beer it doesn’t need the extra fat that a pork shoulder or butt offer to keep it moist. The root beer acts as a tenderizer and after soaking in it all day, the pork practically melts in your mouth. Not only does the root beer work better than a store bought meat tenderizer, it gives the pork a hint of sweetness. But feel free to experiment with your soda of choice! Serve warm on top of hamburger buns with some corn on the cob and a salad.
