While this recipe has only 3 ingredients, do not let that fool you! The flavor that is produced is out of this world. This is by far one of the most simple and creative pulled sandwich recipes that our family comes back for seconds and thirds! While this recipe will freeze well, we do not always have enough left for leftovers. That is just how much my family likes it.
If you do happen to have enough left for leftovers and want to freeze it, it will freeze well in an airtight container or even a large freezer-safe Ziploc bag.
You can take this pulled pork sandwich recipe to the next get together you have coming up and will have so many happy friends. They will probably ask you for the recipe so they can make it again!

3 simple ingredients are all that is needed.
Now that you are ready to get started, pull out your slow cooker and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
Then place the pork roast in the slow cooker and pour the root beer over top of the meat.
NOTE: Your meat will not be covered in BBQ but you can always flip the meat half the way through if you are worried that the root beer flavor is being evenly distributed.
Then, simply turn the slow cooker on low and cook the meat for 6-8 hours or until the pork shreds easily.
Once the roast is done, take it out of the slow cooker and pull it apart with two forks or use a hand mixer to speed up the shredding process.
Before you return the meat to the slow cooker, drain the root beer from inside.
After that is done, place the shredded pork back into the slow cooker and add in the bottle of BBQ sauce.
Leave it in the slow cooker on warm until you are ready to serve it.
Then just scoop the meat onto your favorite buns/rolls and enjoy!
