Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Every few months I get a craving for pulled pork. It’s one of our favorite comfort foods. This time around, I thought I would try Dr. Pepper pulled pork in my slow cooker. All you do is add a can or two of Dr. Pepper, along with a few other seasonings to your slow cooker with a Boston Butt. Then let it cook all day until it’s super tender.
After it’s done cooking, you just strain off the cooking juices and excess fat, and then mix the pulled pork with your favorite barbecue sauce and serve it on a bun. To go along with it, I made a simple coleslaw out of cabbage, carrots, red onions, a little mayo, vinegar and agave. It paired perfectly with this puled pork.

There is just nothing better than using Dr. Pepper slow cooking meat, is there? We love it with beef roasts, brisket, and with pork. It just does something magical in that pot all day!

BLAST! I wish I had seen this post earlier so I could get cooking. I guess I’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
All of a sudden, I started to drool!
I made coca-cola pot roast once but I haven’t ever cooked with DP. I’m sure the guys would love it. Can’t beat great barbecue!

I’m a sucker for Dr. Pepper!! (I don’t drink a lot of soda, but if I did, DP would be my choice
) I have to make this during one of our football games this fall, I love making pulled pork. And slaw is the perfect side…love your simple simple recipe, yum!!!

We make Dr. Pepper pulled por frequently, but I guess it’s been a few months since the last time. Now I’m craving it! Will try your coleslaw next time I make it.

I am looking forward to trying this. It’s shockingly easy looking…but I will solider on optimistically. However….the real question is…do you have a super duper easy BBQ Sauce recipe you love?

I always go back to prepared bottled sauces. There’s so many extraordinary ones.
We don’t eat a ton of pork but I am like you – when I crave it, it’s all I want. And I’m the same with Dr. Pepper. It was my soda of choice as a kid and sometimes there is nothing better. This pulled pork sounds absolutely awesome!

I am a huge fan of pork and have tried cooking it in many different ways but never in a bun; like in a burger or as a sandwich. It’s a great idea to slow cook it and then eat seasoned shredded pork inside a fresh soft bun with tossed salad. I shall try the recipe next weekend when my family will be coming over for a weekend lunch. More than anybody, I’m sure the kids are going to love it
Thanks!
