We don’t really have root beer in the UK. What else could I use? Would stock be ok or does the sweetness of the rootbeer make the dish special?
I think the rootbeer brings a sweet taste to it that regular stock wouldnt give to it. I have seen many a post with Coca Cola being used in recipes too. Might try that instead.
I’ve heard of using Dr. Pepper too.
This looks great, we will be using this instead of firing up the grill.
Slow and easy!
YUM! I’ve tried this with Coke before, but root beer sounds amazing–must try!!
