Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 pork roast boneless (2 lb) or bone-in (3 lb)

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cans root beer NOT diet, about 3 cups, divided
  • 12 ounces Chili sauce found in condiments aisle, near ketchup

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Generously season the roast with salt and pepper then place into the hot skillet and brown on all sides, 6-10 minutes.
  3. Place browned roast into slow cooker. Add 2 tsp of salt, black pepper, diced onion and one can of root beer.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours (or high for 4-5 hours) until meat shreds easily with a fork.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, whisk together the remaining can of root beer, chili sauce and 1/4 tsp of salt. Heat over medium-high heat.
  6. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring often, until sauce is glossy and reduced.
