Dr Pepper Pulled Pork in the slow cooker!
Just a pork shoulder, a can of Dr Pepper, your favorite BBQ sauce, and some spices.
Needs 8 to 10 hours in the slow cooker.

Cocktails at Smugglers Cove?
Many checks, plus one hangover.
The Chairman was the last restaurant on my list.

This is the brick and mortar restaurant that grew from the popular food truck, Chairman Bao.
So, naturally, I had to try and recreate this pulled pork at home.
Now, my recipe isnt quite the same as what I had in San Francisco.

The resulting pork is outstanding.
Its sweet, salty, and a little bit spicy.
Bonus Tip!

What to do with the leftover liquid from cooking the pork?
Let the beans soak overnight and then set the slow cooker once again for 10 hours.
In fact, I do this often with leftover slow cooker juices.

Once the oil is glistening, add the pork.
It should sizzle immediately.
Dont force it along.

If the pork sticks to the pan, wait another minute or two until it releases easily before turning.
Transfer the seared pork to the slow cooker.
In the same pot used to sear the pork, add the onions and reduce the heat to medium-high.
Garrett McCord
Cook until the onions soften up and begin to take on bit of color, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooked onions to the slow cooker with the pork.
Pour this over the pork and onions.
Scatter the crushed garlics around the pork.
Place the lid on the slow cooker.
Cook for 8 to 10 hours on LOW the longer the better.
Once the cooking is done, transfer the meat to a large serving dish using tongs.
Use a pair of forks to tear and shred the pork apart.
Leftovers will keep for 1 week refrigerated, or up to 3 months frozen.
