Dr Pepper Pulled Pork

Easy Dr Pepper pulled pork is made right in the slow cooker. Best of all, you can assemble it up to 4 months ahead of time and freeze it until you're ready to make it! The pork comes out tender, juicy, and full of flavor, ready to stack on your favorite sandwich buns with a big scoop of creamy cole slaw on top.
