Ahhhhh pulled pork. It is such a reminder of Fall in Alabama where we literally devoured mounds pulled pork for years. This particular recipe is so easy, and the Dr. Pepper adds the perfect amount of sweetnees! Just add it to your slow cooker along with an onion and some spices and you’re basically done! We would slow cook a pork roast on Sundays and have sandwiches throughout the week. We especially love pulled pork on mini rolls. Add your favorite slaw and you have a great meal or an afternoon snack!
