Last weekend we hosted our first Christmas Party. Of course, I couldn’t just let it be a simple Christmas gathering so we called it Holiday Hoopla at The Hoods and asked everyone to wear their tacky Christmas sweaters.
My latest cooking video!
I knew about 25 people were coming and I was doing most of the cooking. When I cook for a crowd I always use my amazing crock-pot! Saves me so much time and stress!
I ended up borrowing 3 other crock-pots and made Pineapple Baked Beans, Creamy Hot Chocolate, and of course BBQ Root Beer Pulled Pork.
I love this pork because it’s got a great flavor and is super juicy with just 4 ingredients!

Crock-Pot BBQ Root Beer Pulled Pork
I cooked 2 4lb pork roasts for the party. I would say each roast shredded will feed about 10 people.
You can serve alone or on buns as sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 1 3-4 lb pork roast
- 1 liter Root Beer approx.
- 1 large yellow onion – sliced optional
- 1 24 oz bottle your favorite barbecue sauce
- 8-12 hamburger buns split and toasted
Instructions
- Trim all visible fat from the pork.
- Place the pork in the bottom of the crock pot.
- Poor root beer over until the meat is completely covered.
- Add the sliced onion on top (optional).
- Cover and cook on low until well cooked and the
- pork shreds easily, about 6 to 7 hours.
- When the meat is cooked through and it falls apart, drain most of the root beer. (I leave about 1/3 of the liquid to keep the pork moist).
- Using two forks, shred the pork into bite size pieces.
- Stir in the barbecue sauce and keep warm.
- Serve on hamburger buns (optional) with sliced pickles, onions, and extra barbecue sauce.
