About
The fruity, cola flavors of Dr Pepper® can actually bring out the tang and smokiness of barbeque sauce and the natural savoriness of the pork. Dr Pepper Slow Cooker Pulled Pork combines all of these flavors together into a tender, juicy dish perfect for piling on a bun, baked, or even mac and cheese. It's perfect for family gatherings or for easy weeknight meals since Dr Pepper Slow Cooker Pulled Pork only needs 5 minutes of prep time before braising in the slow cooker. Classic meets cola with this barbecue treat.
