Ingredients

  • 2 - 2 ½ pound boneless pork shoulder

  • Salt and ground black pepper

  • 1 large sweet onion, cut into thin wedges

  • 1 18-20 ounce bottle hot-style barbecue sauce (about 1 3/4 cups)

  • 1 cup Dr. Pepper carbonated beverage

  • 16 - 20 baguette slices, toasted

  • Sliced pickles (optional)

Directions

  1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit in a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper.

  2. Place onions in the slow cooker. Top with meat. In a medium bowl, stir together barbecue sauce and Dr. Pepper beverage. Pour sauce mixture over meat.

  3. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.

  4. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat. Return meat to cooker to combine with sauce and onions and keep warm.

  5. Using a slotted spoon, divide meat mixture among half of the baguette slices. Top with remaining slices and secure with wooden picks. If desired, serve sandwiches with sliced pickles.
