Recipe Notes
Jeff’s Tip: If you like your pork spicy, feel free to add some sriracha, chili powder, or Cajun/Creole seasoning. Or make it Hawaiian style with a mango barbecue sauce!

I made this tonight, and the 3 of us loved it. I used a pork loin, cutting it into 4ths. The meat was so super tender!! I used Coke instead of Dr Pepper (not sure if that matters) and a regular yellow onion. My husband usually complains when I make pulled pork…. this time he actually said “this is really really good!!” WIN!! Haha
Have a good day, y’all. Be Kind. ❤
Should the keep warm feature be left on? Or should it be off?
This recipe is so easy and taste so good. I used 4 lbs of pork tenderloin. I let it marinade over night in the spices and liquid smoke. After cooking I removed most of the juice. Maybe only left 1/2 cup in bottom. Pulled the meat apart,added some BBQ sauce and put back in pot and kept on warm until we were ready to eat. Everyone loved it. I certainly will make it again.
Can this recipe be doubled? Would you increase cook time?
My family and I devoured this pork. Everyone loved it. Couldn’t believe how this pork butt fell apart as I took it out of pot. It was so good they didn’t even use any bbq sauce.
