Servings: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
1 (4-5 pound) pork shoulder
1 (12 oz) can of cola
1 (18 oz) bottle of barbecue sauce
Directions
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
Pour the can of cola over the pork, ensuring it is evenly covered.
Add the bottle of barbecue sauce, making sure the pork is well-coated.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Stir the shredded pork back into the sauce in the slow cooker before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the barbecue sauce before cooking. If you prefer a smokier flavor, try using a chipotle-infused barbecue sauce. For a tangy twist, add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the cola before pouring it over the pork. This dish is also delicious served as pulled pork sandwiches on toasted buns, topped with pickles and coleslaw.
