Crockpot Pulled Pork Braised in Cola
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 2 pounds Boneless Pork Loin (up To 3 Lbs)
- 1 whole Large Onion, Peeled
- 1 cup Cola (can Also Sub Cherry Cola Or Root Beer)
- 4 Tablespoons Cider Vinegar (divided In To 2)
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce (homemade, Or Your Favorite)
- In a small bowl, combine all of the dry spice ingredients for the rub.
- Liberally season the pork roast all over with the rub.
- You may have extra left over, I save it for later use in an empty spice jar.
- Slice onion in half crosswise, then cut those slices in half again so that you have 4 large pieces, or dice it if you prefer.
- Separate the onion into rings.
- Lay almost all of the onion in the bottom of the crockpot, leaving a few rings for the top.
- Place roast on top of the onions and lay the rest of the onion on top of the roast.
- Pour cola and 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar over roast.
- Cover, turn on low, and cook for 5 hours.
- After 5 hours check to see if a fork slides into and out of the pork easily.
- If it does you are ready to shred, if not check it again in 30 minutes.
- When the roast is ready, remove it from the crockpot.
- Pour out the juices into a large measuring cup or bowl.
- Set aside.
- Remove onion from crockpot.
- Either use them to top sandwiches, or slice them up and add them later to the shredded pork.
- Using two forks, shred pork and return it to the crockpot.
- Mix 1 cup of BBQ sauce with 1/2 cup of juices, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar.
- Pour over the shredded pork and toss gently to coat the pork.
- If it isnt wet enough, add a little more juice, if you like it thicker, add more BBQ sauce.
- Keep it on warm until you are ready.
- Then serve and enjoy!
- A 2-pound pork roast will feed a family of four nicely, 3 pounds should feed a family of 6.
