Reviews
I made it in the oven…all ingredients as listed. It’s wonderful!!! Root beer makes all the difference.
I Loved Loved Loved this recipe. The only addition I made was I added a small amount of my favorite BBQ sauce, otherwise I made it exactly as written using Root Beer. Certainly was tender. I suppose any kind of soda like Cola, Ginger ale, Dr. Pepper would work and be good too.
