Easy Pulled Pork (Crock Pot)

This is so freakin' easy... even I can do it.

1 lb pork loin roast**
12 ounces root beer or coke
1 bottle (or less) BBQ sauce

For sandwiches:  2 large hamburger buns


Put the pork and the root beer into the crock pot.  Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Remove the meat from the pot, and discard the liquid.   Wipe out the crock with a paper towel (don't burn your hand!).

Take two forks and pull the meat apart.  Next time I'll take a picture.  You don't CHOP it like some recipes say, that's just wrong.  The meat should come apart in shreds.  If it doesn't, it's not cooked enough, give it another hour.

Return the shredded meat to the pot and stir in some BBQ sauce, about 1/3 to 1/2 the bottle.*
 
Cover and cook on low for another hour.

Serve up on hamburger buns, open faced.

* Mr. Giddy likes a lot more sauce than I do, so I scoop up my serving, then stir in some more sauce for him.  Just make sure the sauce isn't cold when you do this!  I leave it out on the counter for that last hour.  Don't worry, it won't spoil and kill you.

**You could use pork tenderloin instead, and it's really, really, good.  It just costs a lot more.
