DIY slow cooker pulled pork (EASY)

A really great friend of mine made this for us one night when both families got together.. I begged her for the recipe. NOW my husband is so in love with the recipe that I has convinced at least 2 other people he knows that didn't have slow cookers to get one JUST for this recipe!!

I use about a 3# Pork Butt
1-2 Large Onions (Vidalia usually)
A 20oz bottle of specifically A&W root beer (I HATE HATE HATE root beer, but read the note at the end)
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
Hamburger Buns
(my friend also served this with her favorite coleslaw)

OK, in the slow cooker/crock pot... put your pork butt, slice your onions (dump those in too) and fill the slow cooker to the top with A&W root beer. Slow cook it on low I usually leave mine in over night-- I'm sure I don't have to leave it in that long... When the meat falls apart at gentle touch- strain out the entire mix into a colander. Pick out the bones and put all the meat and onions back into the pot. Shred (or I just really gently push the meat apart with a wooden spoon) and then dump as much BBQ sauce as you'd like. We use almost an entire bottle of BBQ sauce...

Serve it on buns... & add coleslaw if you like...
I've actually found the recipe on the internet... but it'll always be my friend Ms. Nicole's recipe! :)
