Slow Cooker Sweet Barbecue Pulled Pork makes a delicious dinner - whether eating it on sandwiches or using it in a salad - give it a try, you'll love it!

Pulled pork in the slow cooker has been done - I know 😉 We've even done it a few ways. I think why I love it is pulling that pork gives the meat a chance to soak up all that extra flavor - it always comes out SO GOOD. So anytime I'm making a sauce that's delicious I love having it on pulled meat.
Sweet Barbecue Pulled Pork is my first attempt at using root beer in a recipe. I knew it could be done - and heard it was delicious. I can't lie - they were right - SO GOOD. Honestly, even if you don't like root beer you should like this - by the time it's done cooking it just adds the right amount of sweet! Give it a try!
I served this the first night as sandwiches, the leftovers were also used on a salad (another reason pulled meat is so good). You could use Slow Cooker Sweet Barbecue Pulled Pork in quesadillas, on its own, or even in a soup (Hey I have to try that!). There are a lot of ways to use pulled pork and when it's a totally yummy recipe like this? You're going to find all kinds of ways to eat it.
As an FYI - this is the perfect soccer mom dinner - or in my case swim mom dinner. It's so easy to get into the slow cooker and then it's done and delish when you get home. Have a busy week coming up? Definitely, plan on making Slow Cooker Sweet Barbecue Pulled Pork.makes your life so easy to have a great dinner waiting at home for you!
