Ingredients

Servings:8
  • 4 lbs Pork shoulder (Boston butt)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chili powder to create a dry rub.

    Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, coating all sides thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Place the seasoned pork on top of the onions in the slow cooker.

  5. 5

    Pour the Dr Pepper around the sides of the pork, being careful not to wash off the dry rub.

  6. 6

    Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours (or High for 5 to 6 hours) until the meat is fork-tender.

  7. 7

    Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.

  8. 8

    Drain the excess liquid from the pot, return the shredded meat, and stir in the barbecue sauce before serving.
