Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork

Oh man! You’re going to love this Dr. Pepper pulled pork recipe! It has just a bit of kick from the peppers that plays so nicely with the sweetness in the soda.This freezer to crock pot recipe is all kinds of tasty. I like to serve it on buns with a bit of garlic mayo, but just plain old buns is fine too.

I take this with us when we go camping if there is a plugin for my crock pot. Just pop the freezer meal in the cooler for the drive there and then on the day you want to serve it, throw it in the slow cooker.
