This slow cooker pulled pork has become a main attraction on my Instagram and Facebook pages. I just cannot get enough of it.

Stuffed in a sweet potato, sprinkled over yam fries with a touch of garlic aioli, or mixed with steamed quinoa and roasted veggies.

Really, any way you decide to serve this… it’ll be amazing.

And! Other shredded pork recipes call for upwards of 1 cup of brown sugar + regular ‘ol sugar-high root beer.

This recipe? Has none of that.

Natural, whole, goodness.

Through and through.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Remove the twine from the shoulder roast and place in your slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the roast with paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.
  3. Pour the root beer along the side of the pork.
  4. Cover and cook, on low, for 9 hours.
  5. Drain the juices from the slow cooker, return the meat back to the slow cooker, shred with a fork.
  6. Stir in barbecue sauce and cook on low for 1 hour.
  7. Serve with a roasted sweet potato and veggies or a gluten-free wrap, bun or bread.
Notes
Root Beer: Any root beer here will do the trick. I used stevia-sweetened ginger root beer.

Barbecue Sauce: Any barbecue sauce would do the trick. I used a honey-sweetened (local) barbecue sauce. You can also make your own using this sugar-free barbecue sauce recipe.

Pork vs. Beef: to make this recipe leaner, swap out the pork for a sirloin roast. You can keep all of the ingredients the same except you'll need 4 cans of root beer and you'll need to cook on low for 12 hours instead.

You’re a creative bunch. Other than stuffed in a bun, how else could you serve pulled pork?
