TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Before adding in the BBQ sauce, make certain to taste it first to ensure that it’s something your family would like to eat. If not, you might be wasting a lot of food!
• You don’t have to cook the pork for an additional 30 minutes once you add the BBQ sauce if you don’t want to. It can help it enhance the flavor more, though.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or add to a freezer back and put in the freezer for later.
• This slow cooker Dr Pepper is the perfect recipe to feed a crowd. Just have some extra hamburger buns or bread rolls because it’s going to be a family favorite.
