Dr. Pepper BBQ Pork Sandwiches (Slow Cooker Recipe)
Make these mouthwatering BBQ pork Sandwiches right in your crock pot. Slow cooking a pork loin roast all day and making it's very own Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce. Grab a napkin!
Servings: 12 sandwiches
Calories: 476kcal
Ingredients
- 4.5 pound Pork Loin Roast
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 2 cup ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha add more if you want to really spice them up
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 12 ounce can Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper Cherry soda
- 1/2 cup corn starch mixed into 1/2 cup water
- 12 Hamburger buns for serving
Instructions
- Place contents in slow cooker. Give a stir to incorporate and spoon over the top of the roast.
- Cover and cook on low 8 hours or on high for 5 hours.
- Remove roast. Set aside.
- Place your crock pot on high. Add 1/2 cup corn starch mixed into 1/2 cup of water. Whisk into sauce. Cover and let simmer in the pot for about 15-20 mins. Sauce will thicken. (if you want to really speed this process up, place the crock from your crock pot in your microwave and it will thicken in a couple of minutes.)
- Shred pork.
- Add pork back into the thickened sauce and stir to combine. (I reserved about a cup of extra sauce for additional if anyone wanted a little extra)
- Serve hot on buns.
Notes
Leftover pork keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or you can freeze it in good quality freezer bags for up to 3 months. Just reheat gently over low heat and add a splash of leftover liquid to keep it moist.
