Instructions
Season and Sear the Pork
Rub the pork shoulder generously with salt on all sides. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to the slow cooker.
Slow Cook with Root Beer
Pour the root beer over the seared pork in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the pork is completely tender and falling apart.
Shred and Sauce
Remove the pork and discard the cooking liquid. Shred the pork with two forks, removing any bones or excess fat. Return shredded pork to the slow cooker, add BBQ sauce, stir to coat, and cook on low for an additional 15 minutes before serving.
