This is an embarassingly easy recipe for pulled beef or pork and is so delicious. Three ingredients, a day in the good ol' slow cooker and Voila! Tangy, sweet, smoky, meaty goodness! Enjoy! Ingredients:
3 lb. beef or pork roast |
1 can coca cola (classic) or dr. pepper (for a tangy twist) not diet |
1 - 16 oz. bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce (i like kc masterpiece original, or if we want it sweet, longhorn barbeque sauce - i think it's only available here in washington or on their website, www.longhornbarbeque.com) |
or, if you have time and want to be 'fancy' try my homemade barbeque sauce on my page. |
soft split buns or rolls, for serving |
cole slaw, for serving |
Directions:
1. Trim fat off roast and place in appropriate sized slow cooker. Pour cola over the roast. Cover and cook on low 6 - 8 hours or until meat falls apart easily.
2. Remove roast from cooker and shred. In a colander set over a large bowl, drain juices from slow cooker and reserve.
3. Return meat to slow cooker and stir in barbeque sauce. Thin with some of the reserved juices (don't throw them out yet!). Cook for another 1/2 to 1 hour on low or until heated through. Thin with additional juices, if necessary. I like to have the sauce just slightly thin, so some of the sauce soaks into the buns, but not so thin that they get soggy.
4. To serve, place a good amount of the meat mixture onto the bottom half of a bun. Top with a spoonful of coleslaw and top with the other bun half. If you've got picky eaters, just serve the slaw on the side. Serve with your favorite sides, like baked beans, tater salad, french fries, or mac & cheese. Delicious!
