I have decided to cook a pork roast for Christmas and never again wrestle with a hot, slippery turkey, so this is great!

I will contribute a [spoon] cornbread recipe. One box of Jiffy cornbread mix, a small can of creamed corn, a small can of whole kernel corn (drained), 1c. sour cream, 1/2 c melted butter, 2 eggs. Blend butter and sour cream. Add eggs, corn, and muffin mix. Blend thoroughly. Pour into greased casserole dish and bake at 375f for 35-40 minutes, until center is firm. I like to add a small can of chopped green chilies to the batter, but that's entirely optional. An 8" square cake pan works, too. Warning: you'd better double this.

I found a recipe a few years ago that said to use a cup of root beer soda. I cook it in the crock pot and then pull the pork and add in my barbecue sauce (which is a mixture of Sweet baby rays and garlic, barbecue seasoning, and Italian salad dressing). I have used Dr. Pepper as well. 😉

Frankly I prefer it over Bear’s and a few other places.

I use Sweet Baby Ray's, as well. It tastes like home. And I can see where root beer would work just great.

I could go wrong with this. When I bought a slow cooker about nine years ago I somehow got one that only gunshot and fast, which I would never want from a slow cooker, and which leads me to despair.

Oh! That's such a bummer. My only quibble with my slow cooker is that I need to start cutting recipes in half unless I'm expecting a crowd. There's just two of us and we both get tired of the same meal after four meals in a row.
