Easy-Peasy Crock-Pot Pulled Pork

4 lb. pork roast (shoulder or butt shreds the best, but I like sirloin as well)

1-2 large onions, sliced

1 cup Sprite or root beer (optional)

1-18oz. bottle barbeque sauce (my favorite is Sweet Baby Ray's)

Place onions, roast, and soda pop in Crock-pot.  Cook on low for 7-9 hours or high for 5-7 hours, depending on your Crock-pot and timing. Remove meat and drain off most of the liquid, saving 1-2 cups of the liquid.  Discard any bone, fat, skin, etc.  Shred the meat and onions and return them to the Crock-pot, along with 1-2 cups reserved liquid (depending on how saucy you want it).

Serve on buns or rolls, along with more barbeque sauce if desired.  (I love to melt a slice of cheese on top of the meat—mozzarella, swiss, cheddar, you name it.  Mmmmmm)

*I always freeze leftovers for another meal—either by freezing the meat in a Ziploc bag or spooning it onto individual rolls and wrap each in plastic wrap.  Freeze in a Ziploc bag and remove one at a time and reheat in the microwave after discarding the plastic wrap and wrapping loosely in a paper towel.

Super Simple and Simply Scrumptious!
