Ingredients:  
1 5- to 6-pound pork butt/shoulder roast
1/4 cup dried minced onion
2 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon celery salt

1 cup root beer
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce, divided
10 regular-size hamburger buns
Directions:
Directions:
Trim the pork roast of excess fat, getting rid of large, visible slabs. Place the roast on a work surface and cut in to four crosswise pieces.

In a small bowl, combine dried minced onion, beef bouillon granules, onion powder, parsley flakes, celery salt, paprika, salt, and pepper. Use clean hands to rub the spice mixture into the meat on all sides. Place roast in the pressure cooking pot.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the root beer and 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Pour over the roast in the pressure cooking pot.

Select High Pressure and set the cook time for 50 minutes. When the timer sounds, turn off the pressure cooker and let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes. Finish with a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid. Carefully remove the meat from the pressure cooker to a large platter and shred with two forks. Discard excess fat as you shredded. (You can also use your stand mixer to shredded the pork.)

Skim fat from the surface of the cooking liquid. (I used a fat separator to separate the fat.) Select Saute and simmer cooking liquid to reduce to about 1/2 cup.

Place shredded pork in the cooking pot with remaining 1 cup barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

Serve on toasted rolls with additional barbecue sauce if desired.

If you wish, you can substitute the spices for one envelope (1 ounce) dried onion soup mix and salt and pepper to taste.
