Hannah's Slow Cooked BBQ

One of the perks of being an educator is having "mommy-friends" that are so generous and shares with you all most of their culinary secrets. Before the schoolyear ended, our class moms gave us a collection of their families' favorite recipes, and this is one of them.

This recipe is really so easy and tastes so good. We actually enjoyed eating it over and over, as it was also awesome as leftovers! We will definitely have this again soon!


What you need: 

1/2 can Coca Cola
3/4 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
2.5 pounds pork (picnic cut)


What to do: 

Put pork, cola, and BBQ sauce in slow cooker. Cook over low for 6 to 8 hours. Remove from heat, let cool and shred (or pull) before serving.


Tips, Tricks and Tweaks: 

1. Original recipe called for a whole can of coke and bottle of BBQ sauce. I tweaked it a bit because the BBQ sauce that I used was sweet - I didn't want it to get overly sweet with the addition of the cola.
2. Pork shoulder is also a good cut of meat to use.
3. Use the leftovers in tacos or gorditas! (Like what I did)

Yummy gordita!
