Root Beer Pulled Pork

My hubby loved pulled pork.  He prefers anything smoked, me...not so much!  So, thankfully this recipe and my crock pot make a wonderful compromise!

This is really a very simple recipe, if you can even call it that!

I start out cutting up 2 medium sized onions and placing them int he bottom of a large crock pot.  Then place the whole pork butt right on top.  I usually use a 9-10 pounder...this ensures that I have lots of leftovers!

Next, pour 1/2 of a 2 liter right in the crock pot.  Now turn it to high and let it do it's thing! You want to cook it for 6-8 hours on high or until the meat just falls off the bone and is easily pulled apart with a fork.  When done, remove meat from crock pot.  Drain all juices and return meat (minus bone) to the crock pot.  With 2 forks, pull meat apart.  Now give it a good douse of your favorite BBQ sauce and cook until heated or you could serve sans sauce and let people put what they want on it!

We like ours with lots of sauce on onion rolls with pickles and onions!
