SUPER EASY AND DELICIOUS PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Turn crock pot on "low".
• Rub seasoning salt and black pepper into roast.
• Pour Dr. Pepper into crock pot. (I used diet).
• Place shoulder roast in crock pot, cover and allow to cook 6-8 hours.
• Place cole slaw mix, mayo and sugar in a bowl. Mix well, cover and refrigerate. Cole slaw will sweat and be a good consistency by the time the meat is cooked.
• Pull apart meat using two forks, discarding fat. I leave the meat in larger chunks instead of smaller strands and prefer the texture when eating it.
• Heap onto ciabatta rolls, add a shot of Stubb's honey pecan and top with slaw.
