The late great chef Anthony Bourdain once said that, “[b]arbeque may not be the road to world peace but it’s a start.” Barbeque has the uncanny ability to tickle the taste buds of pretty much everyone. It brings people together, especially in the summer; relaxing with family and friends, sharing food and making memories. Barbequing in our household is left to my husband; he is a total grill master. I came across this recipe a little over two years ago and it allows me to capture all the barbecue flavour goodness when I am on my own and during the fall and winter without having to fire up the grill. Add buns, corn on the cob and a side of coleslaw for an epic feast!
Ingredients
Pork Shoulder
1 can of Root Beer
1 bottle of Cattleman’s Hickory BBQ Sauce
Directions
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
Pour root beer on top.
Cook on low for 6 hours (or on high for 3 hours).
Shred the pork using two forks.
Cover with BBQ sauce.
Simmer on low for about 15-20 minutes so the pork can absorb the sauce.
Suggestion: This recipe tastes even better the second day; you may want to make it the night before and then reheat before serving.
