The slow-cooker is my favorite way to cook on school nights. We have been collecting crock pot meals and sharing them with you. Dr. Pepper Pork is a favorite at my house.
I recently had the honor of being invited to visit pig farms with the Animal Agriculture Alliance. I learned lots of things, but what I mostly learned was that pork is a great protein that is good for your family and safe to eat! If you’ve never tried combining soda with your pork, you totally should.
3 Ingredient Pork Slow Cooker Dinner
- 1 Can of Dr. Pepper
- 1 Packet of Onion Soup Mix
- 2-3 Pounds of Pork Roast
Slow Cooker Recipe
Cut the Pork into sections so that it will fit into your crock pot. We used a 2 Quart Crock pot to fit our roast.
Flip the pork pieces in the onion soup mix till they are coated. Layer the chunks into the crock pot. Pour the Dr. Pepper over the pork till it is nearly covered in your cooker.
Cook on high for 4-5 hours. We aren’t exact with our cooking times – the benefits of cooking in a crockpot!
After your pork has been cooked, drain the liquid, shred the meat and add barbecue sauce (if you want – we didn’t, not this time).
This meal took 15 min to make (including dishwashing) and I promise, your kids will ask for seconds!
Like the bread? We love eating our BBQ inside homemade rolls. This bread recipe is super easy!
I am going to try this tonight
The written recipe calls for a can of Dr Pepper but both pictures show a 16.9 oz bottle. Is it just a can that is used?
I would stick to what the recipe says. Often the pictures are taken when we have good lighting!
Could I use a pork tenderloin?
Is it ok to leave it on low for 8hrs? I have to work, and won’t be home for that long. Or will that cause it to dry out?
Yes if it is in the crockpot and completely covered.
