Easy Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork

Print Recipe

An easy recipe for tender and juicy pulled pork!

Ingredients

  • 3–5 pound pork shoulder, pork shoulder butt, Boston butt, pork butt
  • 1 can regular Dr. Pepper
  • Salt

 

Instructions

  • Add pork to slow cooker and pour Dr. Pepper on top.
  • Rub entire pork with salt, about 1/2-3/4 teaspoon. I just sprinkle salt on top and rub it in all over.
  • Place pork fat side up. Cover and cook on slow for 7-8 hours.
  • Remove pork from slow cooker and place on a large cutting board.
  • Discard the liquid the pork cooked in.
  • Trim and remove any fat off the pork and remove the bone(s). It should just easily fall out.
  • Once easy to touch shred pork to desired likeness.
  • Use for pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, burritos or however you’d like!

Notes

To freeze cooked pork I like to portion it out and place in a single layer in a good quality freezer bag or vacuum seal. When I need pulled pork, I just thaw out a package or remove the desired amount of pulled pork I need and reheat in the microwave. It tastes just as good as the day I made it!
