Equipment

6-8 Quart Crock Pot

Ingredients

3 lb Pork Butt
18 oz BBQ Sauce
1 cup Dr. Pepper
Sandwich Buns

Instructions

Build your sauce. In your crockpot, combine the BBQ sauce and Dr. pepper stirring until well combined.
Add the pork. Add your pork butt and spoon the sauce over the top.
Cook. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. (Note: Low and slow is best for a nice tender pulled pork.)
Shred. Once cooked, remove the meat from the crockpot and set it on a plate or in a bowl. Remove the liquid from the crockpot and set it aside. Add the meat back to the crockpot and using 2 forks or a shredding tool, shred the meat. Add the liquid back to the shredded meat until you reach desired flavor and consistency.
Serve. Serve warm on sandwich buns.

Notes

Leftover pulled pork should be stored in the refrigerator. Allow your pork to cool and then transfer it to an airtight container. Place in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. If you have a lot of leftovers, you can freeze them for up to 2 months.
