Forkful of Comfort: Root Beer Pulled Pork

Root Beer Pulled Pork

Made by Kristen eaten by David | Labels: pork, Root Beer, slow cooker

I am sure by now most of you have heard of this slow cooker recipe that has been every where. Well up to a few months ago I was one of those people that had not heard of it until my mama said we needed to try it. Boy was she right!! Lightly sweet and oh so craveable. If you haven't tried this, you need to! It's one of our favorite meals now. I like to make double batches, freeze what we don't eat to pull out for another quick dinner. Just defrost, heat, and serve. :)
