Extremely simple recipes are difficult to come by, I know.

This recipe for Slow Cooker Root Beer Pulled Pork is easy and perfect for a weeknight meal.

This recipe starts by putting the pork in the Slow Cooker. Then cover a cut of pork with root beer.

After it has been cooked all day in the slow cooker, the pork is tender enough to be shredded.

The aroma wafting throughout your home will summon your family into the kitchen. They all will ask “what’s for dinner”?

Toss with barbecue sauce and pile high on a soft sandwich roll.

Let the pork cook all day while you run errands and come home to a tasty meal.

Your family will love it!

Easy meal when your schedule calls for “eat and run”.

This 3 Ingredient Pulled Pork can be used in many ways. Use it as a warm side dish.

add cole slaw or sauerkraut on top and have another sandwich.

This pulled pork can be served with Mexican Sweet Corn and homemade fries.

Create whatever you are craving at the moment!

Enjoy.

INGREDIENTS you Need:

  • 4 lbs. pork riblets
  • 3 cups root beer enough to cover the meat in the crockpot
  • 1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce
  • hamburger buns or kaiser rolls

INSTRUCTIONS To prepare:

  • Cover the pork with root beer and cook it in the crockpot for about
  • HIGH for 4 Hours
  • MEDIUM for 6 Hours
  • LOW for 10 Hours. (Best choice)
  • Shred the pork and add the barbecue sauce.

Ritz Breaded Pork Chops The trick is to put just the right amount of breading on them or they get too mushy and not crispy. I use thick butterfly loin chops that are boneless. These seem to cook up to just the right texture.
