BIG RED SLOW-COOKER PULLED PORK

The pairing of barbecue and Big Red Soda is super-popular throughout the South, so why not combine the two in one killer dish? The sweet, cult-favorite cream soda, originally from Texas, is often compared to cinnamon bubble gum, but also has notes of lemon, orange, and vanilla. Here, it's combined with barbecue sauce as a cooking liquid for slow-cooked, spice-rubbed pork shoulder, with results that are sweet, spicy, and as uniquely flavored as Big Red itself.

Tips:

- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) or pork loin are the best cuts for pulled pork. These cuts are well-marbled and have a good amount of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and flavorful. - Don't overcook the pork: The key to tender, juicy pulled pork is to cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the meat dry and tough. - Use a flavorful rub: A rub made with spices and herbs will help to flavor the pork and create a delicious crust. Some popular rub ingredients include brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. - Cook the pork on low heat: Cooking the pork on low heat for a long period of time will help to break down the connective tissue and make the meat fall-apart tender. - Shred the pork with a fork or meat claws: Once the pork is cooked, it can be easily shredded with a fork or meat claws. - Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork can be served with a variety of sides, such as coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad, or macaroni and cheese.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a casual gathering or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious pulled pork that will be a hit with everyone. So fire up your slow cooker and get started today!
