I do not like root beer is there something to replace it with? How hot is this? I have never cooked with chipotle peppers. Thanks, Brandy
If you do not like root beer, use another cola of your liking. Chipotle will add some heat to this recipe, so if you are not sure, I would just use one to start with, and see if you would like it hotter or not. Happy Crocking!
This is a lot of steps and ingredients. I just bought the Crock Pot brand of pulled pork seasoning mix and it was possibly the best pulled pork I’ve ever made. Super-easy.
