Busy day? No problem, slow cooker recipe

With time at a premium for so many of us, why not use your slow cooker to help out with dinner prep? Here is a wonderful bar-b-que pork recipe, which is filling, cheap and super easy.

1 (2 pound) pork shoulder roast, can be called Boston Butt as well

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle root beer

garlic and onion powder to taste

1 (18 ounce) bottle your favorite barbecue sauce

Place the pork  in a slow cooker; pour the root beer over the meat, and season with onion and garlic to your taste. Cover and cook on low until well cooked and the pork shreds easily, 6 to 7 hours. Note: the actual length of time may vary according to individual slow cooker. Drain well. Stir in barbecue sauce. Serve over hamburger buns. What could be easier? Cole slaw or a macaroni salad (or perhaps my corn and black bean relish! hint hint) would ve awesome with this.
