Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork

Tis' the season for sliders topped with coleslaw! This recipe for Dr. Pepper pulled pork has a great tangy and sweet flavor, while the pop helps keep the meat juicy and tender while it cooks in the slow cooker!

Ingredients:

1 pork shoulder roast
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. garlic salt
1 onion, diced
1 can Dr. Pepper
1 c. BBQ sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's)
Rolls and Coleslaw (homemade or store bought)

If you are using a slow cooker liner, place the onions in the bottom of the back inside of the slow cooker. Rub the outside of the pork with the pepper and garlic salt. Place the roast on top of the onion. Pour the Dr. Pepper over the roast and cook on low 7-8 hours (high 4-5). Place the cooked meat on a cutting board and use two forks to shred the meat. Place the pork back into the juices and cook for another 15 minutes. Add more BBQ sauce if you don't think it is sweet enough. Pile the pork inside of a bun and top with juicy coleslaw!
