| Yield: | 10 to 12 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- One 3- to 4-pound bone-in pork shoulder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- One 12-ounce can spiced soda, such as Dr. Pepper
- 1 teaspoon mesquite liquid smoke
- 12 sandwich buns
Instructions
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Rub the oil completely over the pork and season with the salt, pepper and cayenne. Brown the pork shoulder in the skillet on all sides; this will take about 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool slightly before rubbing with the mustard, then coating with the brown sugar.
- Place the pork in a 3- to 4-quart slow cooker, then add the soda and liquid smoke. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. When it is done, the pork will feel extremely tender when prodded.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker, then shred the meat using 2 forks and pull off the bone. Mix the meat with any remaining cooking liquid from the slow cooker. Serve with sandwich buns and toppings of your choice.

I make this all the time for the big game , New Years eve, I also have friends who request it for their Birthday ! I serve it on buns with hot mustard ,cole slaw and quick refrigerator dill pickles ( recipe also from food Network) !But this could be served with mashed potatoes, or in a taco ! And its SO Simple to make !!
boyfriend loved it. these seemed more like french dips. thin sauce, we used it just like french dips. good flavor though so hey.
This was “out of this world” delicious!! Made this today!! It’s s must try!
Loved it! My first time making a slow cooker BBQ. The family was surprised at how good it was. Will definitely be making this again.
