DR. PEPPER PULLED PORK IN THE SLOW COOKER
Steps:
- Place the chopped onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the pork butt on top of the onions and add the garlic, ground mustard, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the Dr. Pepper on top and cook on high for 4-5 hours (or on low for 8 hours). Very carefully, because the pork will be hot, remove the meat from the slow cooker and place on a large cutting board. Using two forks, shred the pork by pulling away from each other. The meat should be very tender by this point. Place the shredded pork back into the slow cooker and continue to cook for an additional hour. Drain the remaining juices and toss the meat and onion mixture in the barbecue sauce of choice. I don't have an exact amount listed-just add a bit at a time until you get to your desired sauciness
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a good quality Dr. Pepper. A dark, bold flavor will give your pulled pork the most depth of flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. A little bit of brown sugar, chili powder, or cumin can add a lot of flavor.
- If you're short on time, you can cook your pulled pork on high for 4-6 hours. However, cooking it on low for 8-10 hours will give you the most tender and flavorful results.
- Once your pulled pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before shredding it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.
- Serve your pulled pork with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Dr. Pepper pulled pork is a delicious and easy dish that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're tailgating, having a potluck, or just feeding your family, this dish is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a new recipe, give Dr. Pepper pulled pork a try. You won't be disappointed.
