Root Beer Pulled Pork Sandwiches

I am trying to get on board with some slow cooker recipes since it is getting ridiculously hot nowadays.  I am just not super "crock pot savvy."  I tend to overcook things in the crock pot, & not everything is good or a pleasant texture when converted to a slow cooker.  Meats are usually my safe bet, & this pulled pork was super easy & tender. The root beer & sauce helps make up for any dryness in the meat & this was enough to feed my small family for days!  We used the meat for sandwiches & quesadillas.  Yummy!
