Root Beer Pulled Pork
Slow Cooker meals are my go-to dinners of choice, year round. In the winter, I love the comfort food and the smell of a roast cooking all day long! In the summer, I love having a good hearty meal, without turning on my oven!
Today, not only am I sharing a delicious Pulled Pork recipe, but one lucky reader will win the Ninja Cooking System. I was fortunate to be able to review this first! My old slow cooker is 18yrs old, it was a wedding gift. While it still works, there is one knob, with four functions…high, low, serve, off.
But first, before we talk about the awesome cooking system, let’s talk pork. It’s the forgotten meat. I know many people think “dry meat” when they think of pork. If cooked properly, pork can be incredible juicy and moist!
I’ve been wanting to try Root Beer Pulled Pork for several years. However, whenever I pull out my pork tenderloins, I always go with a spicy dinner. I’m so glad I finally got around to making this pulled pork recipe. It’s so moist and delicious. The sweetness from the root beer really shines through. We used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, but something with a little more spice would have been an even better choice! But, that’s just because I like spicy food.
Using the Ninja Cooking System was so fun. I began by reading the manual (something my husband would never do!)! This powerful appliance can roast, slow cook and bake.
BAKE?!?! I’m totally intrigued by this, but I haven’t done it yet! It even came with a mini cupcake tray that fits inside. Crazy right?
Well, today, you all can enter to win one of these for yourselves (or give it to someone you love)! Be sure to scroll down for the recipe and the Rafflecopter (to enter the giveaway)!!
Oh, and before I forget, don’t even bother using liners for this slow cooker! The inside is non-stick and comes clean in a jiffy! Seriously, it was amazingly easy to clean….

Sure sounds worth a try,just need to find some root beer.
So often i would like to try the pork recipes (root beer crock pot pork) but I need to substitute a different meat since I am kosher. What kosher near (veal, beef, chicken turkey, lamb) would would best be used I place of pork?
Hi l am in australia and l dont think we sell root beer so what can l use instead of that. I so want to try this recipe
I don’t know how to do this but I would live to win a Ninja cooker CUZ money is tight so I couldn’t buy one!
Sadly that giveaway is closed 🙁
Is that pork tenderloin. Picture on Facebook, it looks like shoulder or butt. Can’ wait to try it either way. Slow cook also corned be and cabbage, chili, pot roast and vegetables, all yummy.
It is a tenderloin, but shoulder or butt would definitely work (possibly even better as they get even more tender!!)
can u use diet root beer
Sure can!
I also use basically the same recipe but, I also add a package of onion soup mix
I love BBQ and would love to try the root beer BBQ recipe. That Ninja slow cooker sounds like it’s just the slow cooker I need. I wash my slow cookers by hand but after awhile the crock pot always ends up with a moly looking residue after it dries. I don’t understand why ! This cooker with its easy cleanup might be just the trick. Maybe it won’t collect a residue like the others. I don’t know how many I’ve had to throw away. Where do they sell the slow cookers by Ninja. I’d love one. You can bake and make cupcakes too ! Wow !!
LOVE my Ninja. You can get here in Amazon: http://amzn.to/2eBbTgy
This is one of the best and easiest pork recipes! It’s a must!
Thank you!
Is it better to add sauce during cooking or add the end for the bbq?
For this recipe, I like cooking the pork in the sauce, because that sweet root beer adds flavor!
