Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Pork Recipe Tips

• The pork cooks for about 8 hours in the slow cooker, so be sure to toss it in the slow cooker early in the day, season it, and pour in a 12 ounce can of your favorite root beer. It will only take you about 5 minutes to get this going and then you put the lid on the slow cooker, set it on low, and forget it until the pork shreds easily.
• About 8 hours later, the pork should shred easily. Shred the pork and pour in a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. I use a sweet and spicy sauce.
• Give it a taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. I also like to mix in some cilantro, but if you aren't sure everyone is going to like the cilantro, I recommend serving it on the side as a topping.
