Category: entrees

4 lb Pork Butt or Pork Shoulder Roast boneless
2 lg Spanish onions; (sweet)

1 lg Bottle Honey BBQ Sauce

1 can Cola

32 Hamburger style buns or 10 kaiser rolls



Cut onions in half lengthwise slice in 1/4" slices halve the onion slices and separate into rings.Sprinkle pork with chef salt.Massage into the pork meat. Place half the onions in crockpot put in shoulder roast and top with remainder of onions. If you don't have a crock that big use roasting pan in oven at 200 degrees.

Pour 1 can of soda (cola) over all cover and cook on LOW for 10 to 12 hours or overnight until pork can be easily shredded (pulled) with two forks. Remove pork from pot shred in a bowl removing all possible fat. Remove onions with slotted spoon and add to bowl. Discard juice in pot. Return onions and pulled pork to pot add BBQ sauce to all and mix. Continue to cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours adding more BBQ sauce as needed. Serve as pulled pork sandwiches on buns.


Leftovers may be cooled made into sandwiches wrapped in heavy plastic wrap and frozen individually for later use. They keep well and may be unwrapped rewrapped in paper towels and heated in a microwave. You also can freeze without bun but we recommend freezing individual pulled pork sandwiches so you don't have to thaw more than you need.
