Easy 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Coca-Cola Pulled Pork
This easy, 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Coca-Cola Pulled Pork recipe is the ultimate hands-off comfort food, with virtually zero effort.
Equipment
- 5 or 6 qt. Slow Cooker
- whisk
- colander
- 4-cup measuring cup
- Tongs
- Vinyl Gloves
- wide sauce pan
- aluminum foil
- large bowl or dish
Ingredients
- 3.5 lbs Bone-In Pork Butt
- 18 oz Barbecue Sauce1
- 12 oz Coca-Cola2
Instructions
- Whisk together the entire bottle of barbecue sauce and Coca-Cola in a slow cooker. Add the pork butt, making sure it is fully submerged in the liquid. Heat on high for 5 to 6 hours, until the pork is tender and falling apart.3
- Once the pork is tender and falling apart, use tongs to transfer it to a large bowl or dish. Remove the bone and cover the dish with aluminum foil to let the meat rest for about 20 minutes before shredding.
- While the pork is resting, strain the liquid from the slow cooker into a colander set in a large measuring cup, to remove any "bits." Skim as much fat as you can from the strained liquid and transfer it to a wide saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes, until reduced by half.
- Put on a pair of vinyl gloves and use your hands to shred the pork, taking care to remove pieces of fat. Ladle about ½ cup of the reduced sauce into the pork. Use a pair of tongs to mix the sauce into the pulled pork. Serve with additional remaining sauce on the side.
- Yield 10-12 servings
Tips/Notes
- I used Sweet Baby Ray Honey Barbecue Sauce.
- Do not use diet soda.
- Resist the urge to check on it! Every time you remove the lid, it adds 15-20 minutes more to the cooking time.
