Ingredients

  • 4-5 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast or pork butt
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 1 onion sliced, optional
  • 12 ounces Dr. Pepper 1 can
  • ¾ cup barbecue sauce or to taste
  • rolls for serving
  • prepared coleslaw for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Rub the outside of the roast with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  2. Pour the Dr. Pepper over the pork and cook on high 4-5 hours or on low 7-8 hours.
  3. The meat will be very tender. Using 2 forks, shred the pork and place back in the juices.
  4. Add barbecue sauce to taste. Allow to cook an additional 30-60 minutes if desired.
  5. Serve on crusty rolls with coleslaw.

Notes

  • Rootbeer or cola can be substituted for Dr. Pepper. Diet Dr. Pepper will work in this recipe.
  • A larger roast will need extra cooking time.
  • If you check the pork and it is not tender, it likely needs more time so cover it back up and let it keep cooking.
  • If your pork produces a lot of juice remove some of the juices before adding the shredded pork back into the mixture. We like to stir in additional BBQ sauce before serving.
  • Pork can be kept warm in the slow cooker.
  • Nutrition information does not include rolls.
