Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Root Beer Pulled Pork.
Step 1
Start by drying the pork shoulder with paper towels, then place it in your slow cooker.
Step 2
Pour root beer generously over the meat, allowing it to soak in.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, blend together brown sugar, ground cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano until well mixed.
Step 4
Sprinkle this flavorful spice blend over the pork, gently massaging it into the surface for an even coating.
Step 5
Cover the slow cooker and set it to Low, letting the pork cook for 5 hours.
Step 6
After this initial cooking time, switch the setting to High and continue cooking for an additional 3 hours, or until the pork is tender enough to pull apart effortlessly with a fork.

Once it's perfectly cooked, carefully lift the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.

To keep the shredded meat moist and flavorful, drizzle some of the cooking liquid over it.
