I tried this recipe instead of a similar one that I've used before that uses water instead of the root beer. I made the mistake of not seasoning the pork before cooking it, and added salt and pepper 1/2 way through cooking time because it was very bland. Just OK. I didn't find that the root beer added any extra flavor.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit with all 16 people. Funny since the green veggie is usually overlooked on Thanksgiving!I made it in advance, re-heated and tossed w/ dressing & bacon crumbles right before serving. I added a few more pieces of bacon, to crumble on top. I'm sure I'll be making it again. Thanks!

I made this for my son's 1st birthday, and it was a huge hit. I made him his own little pumpkin by baking the batter in a small glass bowl, coloring the icing orange, and frosted a marshmallow green for a stem.. The rest went for cupcakes. This will definitely be his cake every year. I like to bake from scratch, but this is great for a crowd.
