Dr Pepper Pulled Pork in the Crock Pot
Dr Pepper Pulled Pork in the Crock Pot is as easy as it gets! It's a delicious "set it and forget it" recipe and makes pulled pork perfect for game day, get togethers or weeknight meals!
Ingredients
- 1 4-5 lb bone-in pork shoulder
- seasoned salt
- 1 12 oz can (or 1 ½ c) Dr Pepper soda (or root beer)
- BBQ sauce of choice
Instructions
- Rub seasoned salt over the entire pork shoulder.
- Place the pork into the Crock Pot and then add the soda.
- Place the lid on the Crock Pot and cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 8 hours.
- Remove the pork to a pan and use two forks to shred the meat; discard the bone or any really fatty pieces.
- Remove all but 1 ½ cups of the juices in the Crock Pot and stir in the shredded pork.
- Add the barbeque sauce and stir. Serve right away or cook on low for an additional hour.
Notes
*This is assuming you start with a 4 pound bone-in shoulder. Once it's cooked, shredded (and bone removed), you'll have about 2 - 2 ½ pounds of pork.
