Rootbeer Pulled Pork

Rub the roast all over with the salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pan and sear all sides. Place roast in a slow cooker with onion wedges, garlic and 1 cup root beer. Set on low and cook for 8 hours (5 hours if you set it on high). Remove pork to a plate and shred pork with two forks.

Prepare the sauce. In a medium sauce pan, place the remaining 4 cups root beer, chili sauce, hot sauce, garlic and jalapeno pepper if using. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer on low for about 45 minutes stirring often until sauce thickens.

Toss the sauce into the shredded pork. Serve on a toasted bun. Enjoy.
