CROCK POT COCA-COLA PULLED PORK
This is a modified version of a friend's recipe for pulled pork. Hers is always a hit at potlucks. The only revisions I made to her original recipe were to suit my family's taste. This is the easiest, tastiest pulled pork. Set the Crock Pot before you leave the house for work and return home to a wonderful aroma and a main dish that is ready when you are. It turns out slightly sweet and smokey with a hint of heat. The Coca-Cola makes the meat fall-off-the-bone tender. I could make my own barbecue sauce but choose to use Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy sauce instead. It's easier, and my family loves it! Use your favorite brand of barbecue sauce if Famous Dave's brand is unavailable in your area. Serve on a burger bun or on its own and enjoy!

Steps:
- Place roast in a 5 quart crock pot. Season with garlic, onion, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Add liquid smoke and pour in Coca-Cola until it reaches nearly the top of the roast (or covers it depending on the cut of meat).
- Set Crock Pot on low heat and cook for 8-10 hours.
- When ready to serve, remove roast from Crock Pot to a platter. Remove any bones and trim all fat. With a fork, begin "pulling" pork apart into thin shreds. Add barbecue sauce and fold into meat.
- Serve pulled pork on a burger bun or on its own.
- Note: If preparing this dish for a potluck, pour 1 cup of Crock Pot liquid into a measuring cup and discard the remainder. Then return pulled pork to Crock Pot, set on warm or low heat setting, add 1/2 cup of reserved liquid (to keep the meat from drying out) and cover until ready to serve. If the meat is in the Crock Pot for more than one hour, add more liquid as needed for moisture.

Steps:
- Cut up the onions and garlic, although i think this may be unnecessary since they will be thrown out after cooking. Throw them into the crock pot. Pour about half of the Coca-cola into the crock pot. Pour in the can of condensed milk. Add the salt, pepper, sambal, and liquid smoke. The 1tsp salt is very little. If you taste the sauce, it may be a little bland. I prefer it this way as you can add salt to taste in the mixture that gets poured onto the meat at the end. Carefully place the pork in the crock pot . Add the rest of the Coca-Cola to the pot to cover the pork. Cook on low for 8- 12 hours. After the pork is cooked, let it cool for a bit. Remove the meat from the crock pot into a pan. Remove the bones, skin, and excess fat from the meat. Easier to place the meat and excess (bones, skin, and fat) in separate containers. With the bones removed, shred the meat with forks by pulling the meat apart (hence, pulled pork). Strain about two cups of the liquid left over and salt to taste. I recall other recipes adding more ingredients to the liquid, so go ahead and experiment if you want to. We do not have a fine strainer so some chunks were still left in. Use a fat separator to cut down on the oil. Pour this over the meat and mix thoroughly. Place whatever size you want on your buns, add BBQ sauce, mayonnaise (wife likes it with a little mayo on the buns), and enjoy.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the best cut for pulled pork. It's a tough cut of meat, but the slow-cooking process in the Crock-Pot tenderizes it perfectly.
- Sear the pork before cooking: Searing the pork adds flavor and helps to create a crispy outer layer.
- Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to cook the pork is important. Coca-Cola is a popular choice, but you can also use other liquids like apple juice, chicken broth, or beer.
- Add spices and seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin.
- Cook the pork on low and slow: The key to tender pulled pork is to cook it on low and slow. This allows the meat to break down and become fall-apart tender.
- Let the pork rest before shredding: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Crock-Pot Coca-Cola pulled pork is an easy and delicious meal that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a mouthwatering dish that will please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hassle-free meal, give Crock-Pot Coca-Cola pulled pork a try. You won't be disappointed!
