Pulled Pork with Root Beer Sauce


INGREDIENTS

2 1/2-3 pound pork sirloin roast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 Tbsp cooking oil
1 cup root beer *not diet

Sauce:

1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 cups root beer (two 12-ounce cans or bottles) *not diet
1 cup bottled chili sauce
8-10 hamburger, hoagie, french bread buns or rolls



DIRECTIONS

Trim fat from the meat. Sprinkle on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Brown on all sides in hot oil. Drain off fat.

Transfer meat to slow cooker and add the 1 cup of root beer. Cover and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.

30 minutes before serving, make the sauce:

In a medium saucepan combine the 3 cups root beer and the chili sauce. Bring to boiling and reduce heat. Boil gently uncovered, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes or until mixture is thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2-2 cups.

Transfer meat to a cutting board or serving platter. Discard juices.

Using 2 forks, pull meat apart into shreds.

Put meat and sauce into a large bowl and mix.

Serve on a bun.
