Crock Pot Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork
10:13 AM
I used to be a little wary of putting soda into a main dish, but then a while back I tried a crockpot root beer pulled pork and it is one of our favorite meals. So, using Dr. Pepper for a new crockpot pork recipe seemed like a no brainer. This crockpot Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork is delicious and oh so good on soft bun.
Ingredients:
3-4 lb Pork Loin Roast
Pork Rub or your favorite seasonings
12 oz Dr Pepper
Barbecue Sauce (to taste)
Instructions:
Step 1: Season pork with your rub on all sides.
Step 2: Place in slow cooker and pour in Dr Pepper.
Step 3: Cook on low 10-12 hours.
Step 4: Drain most of the liquid, and use tongs to shred pork.
Step 5: Add barbecue sauce to taste (I use a whole bottle)
Step 6: Stir well and reduce temp to warm for serving. Serve on buns.

That looks incredibly easy and tasty too. My husband has been asking for pulled pork..
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I would have assumed the barbecue sauce would be the main part of cooking it in the crock post. I'm sure the Dr. Pepper gives it a nice, unique taste!
ReplyDeleteYum I love Crockpot meals like this. I have made a pulled pork similar to this recipe and it turned out great. I will have to try your recipe out!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good, and I love crock pot meals!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good old Texas thing to do :) Dr. Pepper down here is like Coca-Cola in Georgia ;) Cooking pork in the slow cooker is my preferred way to make it.
ReplyDeletenom nom nom and that's one of my very fave BBQ sauces too! Don't you love easy it is to make pulled pork?
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks so good! And I can't believe I've never made BBQ pulled pork in my slow cooker before. Going to be making this next week!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good!!! I will have to try it sometimes. I wonder if it would taste good with coke?
ReplyDeleteYes it does. Root beer is tasty as well.:-)
DeleteDW
I've heard those recipes with soda are so good -- maybe one of these days I'll "treat" myself.
ReplyDeleteI make it with Coke love how moist it turns out! Great recipe.
ReplyDeleteBig Dr. Pepper fan but have never used it while cooking. I'm sure this is amazing and it seems so simple I couldn't imagine not giving it a try.
ReplyDeleteI would not have thought to use Dr. Pepper to make pulled pork. It looks really tasty.
ReplyDeleteHow much does this make...? BBQ for about 20 people- would I need to double the recipe?
ReplyDeleteIf you were putting it on sandwiches I would definitely double the recipe, you might want to even triple it just to make sure you had enough for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThis was amazinggg.
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteMaking this as I speak; I just turned on the crockpot!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear what you think of it!
Deletei loved this so much i linked it on my blog and wrote a review! i tried to link the post here, but it's not letting me :/
ReplyDeleteJust put it in crock pot. :) thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteCan u use pork butt roast
ReplyDeleteThat should work fine as a substitute, it just make be a little more fatty. Simply skim the fat from the pot before shredding the pork if that is the case.
DeleteDoes the Roast have to be thawed first?
ReplyDeleteNo Samantha, It doesn't have to be all the way. We have put it in there mostly frozen before, you may have to use judgement on whether to extend the cook time as it gets closer to being done.
DeleteCan it be cooked on high for half the time?
ReplyDeleteIt could be, but the meat may not be as tender as it would be cooked on a lower temp. As always, when dealing with pork or chicken, be sure to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer before shredding and serving.
DeleteI used a cherry dr. Pepper it was good also.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely delicious.
