Ingredients

  • pork boston butt roast
    2 lb
  • dried minced onion
    1 tsp
  • granulated garlic
    ½ tsp
  • black pepper
    ⅛ tsp
  • cayenne pepper
    ⅛ tsp
  • liquid smoke
    1 tsp
  • 12 ounce can coca cola soda
    1
  • bread buns
    6
  • bbq sauce

Directions

  1. 1

    Spray the inside of the crock of the slow cooker with a non sticking cooking spray. Place your pork roast inside and season it with the garlic, onion, black pepper and cayenne pepper.

  2. 2

    Add 1 teaspoon of your choice of flavors of liquid smoke. (we used the mesquite flavor but it does come with hickory or pecan flavorings)

  3. 3

    Pour the cocoa cola over the roast to completely cover it.  We used a smaller crockpot (3 quarts) and only used one 12 ounce can of coke.  Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours until completely tender.

  4. 4

    When done, remove pork from slow cooker (save juices) and shred with meat claws or with two forks. Add some of the saved juices if your pulled pork with coke is too dry. Otherwise it’s ready to serve.

  5. 5

    To serve, toast bread buns of your choice and pile with plenty of this coca cola pulled pork and top with your favorite BBQ sauce.

About this Recipe

Craving a ridiculously easy and flavorful weeknight dinner that practically makes itself? This Coca Cola Pulled Pork recipe delivers tender, delicious results right from your slow cooker, making it a must-try for busy evenings and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

The magic truly happens in the slow cooker, where the pork boston butt roast slowly simmers in a bath of Coca Cola. This not only tenderizes the meat to perfection but also infuses it with a subtly sweet and tangy flavor that's both unique and incredibly satisfying. The addition of liquid smoke ensures a deep, rich BBQ-like essence without needing a smoker.

Prepare for fall-apart tender pork that practically shreds itself, infused with a distinct, sweet tang from the Coca Cola and a hint of smokiness from the liquid smoke. The simple blend of dried minced onion, granulated garlic, black pepper, and cayenne pepper provides a balanced savory warmth, ensuring every bite is bursting with flavor. This is the kind of comforting meal that fills your kitchen with an inviting aroma, promising a delicious and easy main course that feels much more effortful than it actually is.

While Coca Cola is key to this recipe's distinct flavor, feel free to experiment with the spice balance. For a bit more heat, you could increase the cayenne pepper. You can also vary the type of BBQ sauce used at serving to customize the final flavor profile, from smoky to sweet to spicy. Don't have liquid smoke on hand? A touch of smoked paprika can offer a hint of that desired smoky depth.

Serve this delicious Coca Cola Pulled Pork piled high on soft bread buns, generously drizzled with your favorite BBQ sauce for a truly satisfying and easy meal perfect for any casual dinner or gathering.
