Easy Monday Recipe

Well since the lovely October cold that is floating around has made it to our house, and I am not feeling too hot,  I am posting a super easy Crock Pot recipe.  I found a recipe a few years ago for a crockpot pulled pork using beer, but through trial and error and few kinds of beer, I have found that we prefer root beer and the flavor it gives better

Crockpot Pulled Pork

1- 2 pound Pork loin ( if it wont fit, you may cut it in half to make it fit)
1  small yellow onion sliced
1 12 oz can or bottle of your favorite root beer (A&W makes it sweet, Barqs is less sweet)
1 bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce (we prefer sweet baby rays)

Place pork loin into crock pot, put onions on top, pour in root beer, cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.  Shred pork once it is fork tender, put back into crock pot, pour in BBQ suace, mix, and serve on kaiser rolls.  We usually have a side of coleslaw, or potato salad, and a green vegetable or corn.

This makes enouggh for about 8 servings, I usually buy a bigger Loin so we have left overs, if you get a 4 pound loin just double the root beer, use a medium sized onion, and you may need another bottle of BBQ sauce depending on how saucy you like it.

In total this recipe is about 15 minutes of prep work, and is really really yummy.  It is an easy weeknight meal, that freezes very easy as well.

Enjoy!
Till next time,

  4. Christie,
    I wanted to let you know that I made this tonight. It was great. I used a sweet honey BBQ sauce, and diet bottled root beer. I'm sharing it in some comments on my blog's FB page.
