Helpful hints

• Adjust root beer to cover meat but do not fill slow cooker more than 2/3 full.
• Read ingredients and select a root beer that does not contain phosphate additives.
• Instead of ribs you can substitute a Boston butt or pork shoulder roast. Sprinkle garlic and onion powder on meat and cover completely with root beer before cooking in slow cooker. Shred cooked meat.
• Serve ribs or roast with coleslaw and rolls
