Review:
hey karen! so i'm going to be making this for about 20 people (10 adults and 10 kids) and i'm wondering if you have any thoughts on how i would tackle that. do you think it would work to just quadruple it and split it between two 6-quart crock pots? i'd love your insight before i screw up 16+ lbs of pork. 🙂 thanks!!
err…I mean 8+ lbs of pork. 🙂 I'll have someone else do the math part…
I would probably do 4 lbs in each crock. I don't think you'll need to double everything! Personally I would just double the meat and then use 1 can of rootbeer per crockpot and keep the recipe the same. I hope this goes well for you! That's a lot of people to cook for 🙂
Oh this looks good!!

In Which We Start Anew
I made this recipe on Sunday. It was really easy. My husband loved it, and I thought it was pretty good too. We ate it on toasted buns which was great. We will definately be making this one again.
I just made coke pork the other day. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks Karen!!
