Sweet Pulled Pork:

*
*3 pounds bone in Pork Butt or Shoulder Roast, frozen and thawed in refrigerator

*1 bottle 16.9 ounce Dr. Pepper, not diet

*3 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

*3 tablespoons dried Minced Garlic

*1 tablespoons dried Minced Onion

*1 teaspoon freshly Ground Black Pepper

*

Sauce
:

*
Add this sauce after pulling pork.

*
In a crock pot with liner, add the pork roast and pour over the Dr. Pepper and apple cider vinegar. Then sprinkle on: Garlic, onions, black pepper, red pepper flakes, salt and brown sugar.

Turn crock pot on high for 6-8 hours. Then pull the pork with two forks (remove excess fat) into strips. Add the brown sugar and enchilada sauce.
