Description
Tender and flavorful crockpot pulled pork.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pound bone-in pork Boston butt roast
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ cup Dr. Pepper, Coca-Cola, or apple juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Remove the pork roast from the packaging and pat dry.
- Combine your spices: 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons ground mustard, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Cover all sides of your roast with the spice mixture, patting it in to help it stick.
- Add the roast to your crockpot.
- Pour ½ cup Dr. Pepper (or the liquid you are using) and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar into the crockpot along with any remaining seasoning mixture.
- Turn on the crockpot to low and cook for 8-10 hours.
- When cool enough to handle, place the roast on a cutting board. It should be falling off the bone. Shred the meat with two forks and discard the bones and fat.
- The meat will be very soft and tender. If you like crispy tips on your pulled pork, drizzle with the juices from the crockpot and bake in the oven at 350°F for several minutes until it reaches the crispiness you desire.
- Serve with barbecue sauce on buns, use it in tacos and quesadillas, top nachos, and more!
