Add A Secret Ingredient To Your Slow Cooker For The Most Delicious Pulled Pork

The slow cooker is one of my absolute favorite ways to cook. I’m not exactly the most talented chef, but using my crockpot makes me feel like one. Recently, after a day out with friends, we were all coming back to my place for dinner. This sent me into panic mode;. I had no idea what to cook! Furthermore, I knew we would be hungry when we got back, and I didn’t want to spend time cooking. I didn’t want to disappear into the kitchen and force everyone to wait around until I finally appeared with something that may or may not be edible. I finally realized the perfect solution. I decided to cook a meal in the crock pot. It worked out perfectly.

I added the ingredients in the morning before we left, and our meal was done perfectly when we arrived home. Not only that, the house smelled amazing. I put together a couple of quick sides and we had a wonderful meal together. I plan on doing it again next time, and I’m absolutely going to give this recipe a try. What’s the secret ingredient to the best pulled pork? Root beer!

Here’s the recipe:
