Being married to a meat and potatoes Iowan there is a high standard for certain dishes. One of the high standards has been a pulled pork sandwich. A classic Iowa dish that has apparently been nearly perfected. In fact when we went back to Iowa for Chad's 20 year reunion we enjoyed some fabulous pulled pork sandwiches and out of this world sweet corn.So when I tell you that I have been a bit intimidated by his stories of these pulled pork sandwiches and in our 16 years together I had never made him my crockpot pulled pork I am sure you understand. Well after finding quite a steal on pork shoulder/butt ($.60/lb) I decided this was the time. But, it was going to require the perfect pork AND the best KC barbecue sauce to really make this stand out.This pork is seasoned with some of my favorite spices which bring in an incredible flavor. The cooking liquid of choice is a twist. This roast is slow cooked in Dr Pepper. Yes, you heard me right. This pork cooks to a tender juicy perfection. Then some of the most incredible KC Style Barbecue sauce is stirred in to cook for another hour. The end result is a mouthwatering tender, juicy pulled pork with just enough heat to wake your mouth up.You just have to serve this on a buttered toasted bun with a pickle slice on top. The combination is absolutely scrumptious.Make sure you also check out 50 Dishes For Your Labor Day Party ; burgers, chicken, steak, condiments, salads, & more. There is something for everyone!
