INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 4 to 5 lb. Boston butt/pork shoulder
• 12 ounces Dr Pepper®
• 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• hamburger buns or deli rolls, to taste, for serving
• 15 ounces coleslaw, store-bought or homemade, optional, for serving

DIRECTIONS

• Evenly layer the onion slices in the bottom of the prepared slow cooker. Top the onions with the pork and cover with the Dr Pepper®.
• In a small bowl, add the liquid smoke, the honey, and the minced garlic and stir to combine. Use a basting brush to evenly brush the sauce mixture onto the pork.
• In another small bowl, combine the brown sugar, the onion powder, the kosher salt, the smoked paprika, the black pepper, and the cumin. Sprinkle the spice mixture on top of the pork.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook the pork mixture until the meat is very tender, on high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 6 hours. Use two forks to pull the pork apart, discarding any fat. Use the two forks to shred the remaining lean pork. Pour the barbecue sauce over the shredded pork and toss to coat. Serve on hamburger buns and top with coleslaw if desired.
