Slow Cooker BBQ Pork

By AzWench

This super-simple recipe delivers big flavor. Reduce the fat but not the flavor in this juicy cut of pork by preparing it a day ahead. Cool the barbeque, and refrigerate overnight. Remove and discard any solidified fat before reheating.

Ingredients

• 1 (3 to 4 pound) shoulder pork roast
• 1 (18-ounce) bottle barbeque sauce*
• 1 (12 ounce) can cola soft drink

Preparation

Step 1

Place pork roast in a 6-quart slow cooker; pour barbecue sauce and cola over roast.

Cover with lid, and cook on HIGH 6 to 7 hours or until meat is tender and shreds easily. Serve on buns with slaw or over hot toasted cornbread.

Note: If you don't have a slow cooker, place roast in a lightly greased Dutch oven; stir together barbeque sauce and cola, and pour over roast. Before placing lid on top of Dutch oven, cover roast with a double layer of aluminum foil. Bake, tightly covered, at 325 degrees for 3 1/2 hours or until tender.
