Dr Pepper Barbecue Pork Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup Dr. Pepper cola (NOT diet)
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder (dissolves easier)
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 lbs pork, a boneless roast
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
3/4 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preparation

In a bowl, combine Dr Pepper, Worcestershire, vinegar, garlic, bouillon, mustard, chili powder and red pepper flakes. Save 1/2 cup of this for sauce.
Place meat and onions into crockpot and pour the remaining sauce over the meat (NOT the reserved 1/2 cup sauce).
Cover and cook on LOW for 10-12 hours or on HIGH for 5-6 hours; Transfer to serving platter and let 'settle' 10 min, before slicing.
While the meat 'settles', in a small pan combine reserved 1/2 cup sauce, catsup and butter; Heat through; this is your 'gravy'.
NOTE: never use the diet version of any soda for this recipe; the artificial sweetner breaks down badly when heated and will ruin the meal.
