A flavorful and tender pulled pork recipe made with a cola-based marinade, perfect for gatherings or family meals.
Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder for a leaner dish.
Add the sliced onion, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and liquid smoke to the slow cooker.
Layer the onions under the pork for even cooking.
Pour the cola over the pork until it is partially submerged.
Ensure the cola covers at least half of the pork for even flavor distribution.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 8-10 hours.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat.
Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Let the pork cool slightly before shredding to make handling easier.
Mix the shredded pork with barbecue sauce in a mixing bowl.
Add sauce gradually to achieve your desired flavor.
Serve the pulled pork on buns or as desired.
Garnish with coleslaw for a classic touch.
