Magical Dr. Pepper Crock Pot Pork
Ingredients:
1 Pork Butt or Shoulder
1 Sliced Onion
1 Can of Dr. Pepper
3/4 Cup Homemade or Store-Bought BBQ Sauce
Dash of salt, pepper and garlic salt
To make this delicious dish, turn on your crock pot and toss in the sliced onions. Rub the pork butt or shoulder with the salt, pepper and garlic powder, before tossing into the crock pot. Pour the can of soda over the crock pot and then allow the dish to slow cook for seven hours on low heat.
After the meat has cooked, shred the dish and add in your barbeque sauce. If you so choose, allow the dish to simmer for another hour so that the meat can absorb the taste of the BBQ sauce. Serve on buns or rolls with a side of coleslaw.
