1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle root beer
1 (18 ounce) bottle your favorite barbecue sauce
8 hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted
Directions
Place the pork tenderloin in a slow cooker; pour the root beer over the meat (don't forget to stab the meat several times with a knife or a fork, to let the root beer get inside the meat). Cover and cook on low until well cooked and the pork shreds easily, 6 to 7 hours. Note: the actual length of time may vary according to individual slow cooker. Drain well (we actually like to add a tiny bit of root beer, after all, it was cooked in root beer, why are we trying to ignore that, let's savor it!). Stir in barbecue sauce. Serve over hamburger buns/rolls, etc.
TRIED IT:
This is one of AT's all time favorites, I love anything from the crockpot. I wish I could tell you I selected just the right kind of roast, but I just picked the cheapest one (which isn't a bad strategy, since cheaper roast usually = more fat marble = tastes better). No, I didn't use the whole two liter bottle in the crockpot, I just used enough to cover the roast, and kept the rest in the fridge (we don't buy soda, so it's a nice treat for the kids, this was the one thing I just bought what tastes best, since it was the bulk of the flavor for the meat and we had to drink it after. We do not like store brand root beer, blech). We added some rootbeer in with the BBQ sauce, and we never use the whole BBQ sauce container, just add until it looks/tastes nice.
