Slow Cooker Pulled Pork



These turned out great!!!

Here is how I made them.

Ingredients:

2.5 pounds of boneless pork roast
2 cups of root beer
1-18 oz bottle of  KC Masterpiece Barbecue Sauce

Cut the pork roast into more manageable sizes.  I cut mine about 2" thick and then placed them on the bottom of the slow cooker.


Pour 2 cups of root beer over the pork.

Set your slow cook at low cooking setting.  That is 3 for my slow cooker.

Cook for 6 to 8 hours.

I cooked mine for 8.

Drain the root beer.

Pour in your favorite 18 ounce bottle of   barbecue sauce.

With a wooden spoon mix the bbq sauce and use your wooden spoon to shred the meat by pressing on the meat.

Once the meat is shredded and bbq sauce is mixed, set your slow cooker to 2 for about 30 minutes.



Spoon the shredded pork on buns and enjoy.

I am not sure how many serving this is.  With small buns it served 10 sandwiches and had about 2 cups of left overs.  Depends on the size of the bread you are using.

Medallion


I love this Medallion.  This is an upcoming vintage pattern that I am rewriting..  It is simplistic yet so elegant.  I can't wait to share this one with you.

I am determined to start one project and finish it before starting another. If I get too many going then they don't all get done.  I have learned to make a list and pick one.  My process in picking my next project is so scientific. (laughing hysterically)

I have to shut my eyes and spin my finger around and around and then touch the list, kinda like pin the tail on the donkey, or I can't make a decision on what to start next.

On that note, I have a pattern that I am getting ready to release. I am thinking I will need one more day to finish up and fine tune.  I am very excited and pleased with the results.  I hope you will be too.

I am getting hyped up for the Football Game tonight.  A new slow cooker recipe for Pulled Pork.  It has a secret ingredient, root beer.  I can't wait to try it out.  This will be served at our Football gathering tonight. If it turns out well, I will share the recipe with you tomorrow.  If it doesn't turn out so well, I may lose some friends, and hopefully it's not during a major tackle during the game. I may lose more then friends.

It smells great from where I am sitting.

Hurry up 5:30.

Who do you want to win tonight?  Broncos or Ravens?

Have a great evening or day where ever you may be,

Debra
