Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Pork shoulder (or pork butt)
- 12 oz Coca-Cola
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 large Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 8 Buns or rolls (optional, for serving)
- 2 cups Coleslaw (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel and slice the onion into thin rings and place them at the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them on top of the onion layer.
In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the pork shoulder.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onions and garlic in the crock pot.
Pour the Coca-Cola evenly over the pork shoulder.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the crock pot and place it on a large cutting board or tray.
Shred the pork using two forks, discarding any excess fat or bone.
Drain most of the liquid from the crock pot, leaving about 1/2 cup to keep the pork moist.
Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and add 1 cup of barbecue sauce. Stir to combine and heat on LOW for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Serve the pulled pork on buns or rolls with coleslaw on top, if desired. Enjoy!
