Ingredients
- 4 lb. pork shoulder also known as pork butt
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 7 oz. can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 12 oz. cans Dr. Pepper
Instructions
- Season both sides of the pork with the salt and pepper and place it in a slow cooker (mine is 6 quarts). Add the onion, chipotle peppers, and both cans of Dr. Pepper. Turn the slow cooker on low and cook for 8 hours (flip the pork once halfway through cooking).
- When the pork is done (it should be extremely tender), remove it from the slow cooker and place on a large platter or cutting board. Shred the pork, using 2 forks until all the pork is shredded.
- Strain the fat off of the cooking liquid and mix in some of the cooking liquid into the pork to keep it moist.
- If desired, you can add the liquid to a sauce pan and simmer it on the stove top until it reduces and thickens a bit. This is a bit more time consuming but delicious!
- Serve the pulled pork on rolls of choice.
