Happy Monday, everyone!
Because that’s what Mondays are…
just happy, happy, kick back happy.
Mountains of laundry, dirty bathrooms calling my name,
5000 weeds growing by the second,
a sticky kitchen floor to mop
and
the worst
part is
I
am
down
to
half a stick of butter and 2 lonely eggs!
What can a girl do with half a stick of butter and 2 lonely eggs?
Get to the store. That’s what!
Right after I conquer the 5000 weeds.
Wish me luck.
Like I said….it’s just
Happy, happy, kick back happy.
Because I know you love Mondays just as much as I do, I have a FABULOUS
EASY
CLASSIC
recipe for you today.
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches made in your crock pot.
Bet you love em!
Let me show you how to make it happen…
I used a Pork Sirloin Tip Roast because they have less fat, but a Pork Loin or Butt Roast would work as well.
Also, I have made it with both Root Beer and Dr. Pepper. Both were wonderful and had little difference in taste.

1. Place your pretty pork roast on a plate. Season it generously with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Pat the seasoning into the roast with your fingers.
2. Into a large hot skillet pour about 2 T olive oil. Throw your Pork Roast seasoned side down into the skillet. (Ok don’t really ”throw” it. We don’t want pork guts to be flung anywhere! Just lay it down gently. Seasoned side down.)
3. Grab your Montreal Steak Seasoning…..
and sprinkle it on the unseasoned side of the meat. Let the pork roast get nice and brown. Turn it over and sear it on the other side as well. The Montreal Steak Seasoning will turn a bit crusty. That’s what you want. A nice crusty sear. Yum. This will really give your meat a nice smokey/salty flavor. It should smell pretty darn fabulous, too.
4. Stab that bad boy Pork Roast with a couple of forks and transfer it to a large crock pot.
5. Pour the soda over the top of your meat. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours, or until the meat shreds nicely with a fork.
6. Remove the roast from the pan, shred it all up and place it back in the soda juices. Let it cook for 1 hour more.
7. Drain the juices from the pan and pour the BBQ sauce in. Stir it well to incorporate. Cook for 30-60 more minutes.
Serve on some nice rolls.
Enjoy!
Thanks for dropping by today, I hope you have a good one!

Thanks so much for linking up this beautiful pulled pork into Get Grillin'
Absolutely Delicious!!! And Oh so very easy!!!
Thank you!
Hello Jamie, my family too lives in Herriman and I'm so glad that I found you. I've tried several of your recipes now and have loved all of them. I never thought I'd get my two daughters to eat a Pulled Pork Sandwich but they absolutely LOVED this recipe. I used root beer. I didn't have that particular steak seasoning so I had to just use my Lawrey's, but it came out just fine. Thank you for making me look good to my family, it doesn't come easy for me in the kitchen. 🙂
Made it. Loved it! Can I freeze it?
Anonymous,
This recipe freezes very well. So glad you liked it! Have a good one!

meats in the crockpot now! Smells amazing…can't wait til dinner time. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
What size slow cooker did you use? I have discovered if I cook something in a pot that is too big it seems to cook faster. I have one of those slow cookers that has the three different size crocks. The largest is a 6 qt.
This recipe sounds wonderful. I am a huge fan of pulled pork. 🙂
Hi ShellyJo,
I believe I cooked mine in my 8 quart crock. I think you'll be fine with the 6 quart. Good luck!

Can you use diet soda?
Yes, diet pop will work fine. Good luck!
