      Title: N.Y.T.'s Slow Cooker Bbq Pulled Pork
 Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Bbq
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      1 tb Garlic powder
      1 tb Onion powder
      2 ts Hot or sweet smoked paprika
      2 ts Salt; more to taste
      1 ts Black pepper; more to taste
      4 lb Boneless pork shoulder or
           - pork butt; trimmed
      2 tb Oil; additional for
           - greasing
      1    Yellow onion; chopped (opt)
     12 oz Can dark soda
    1/2 c  BBQ sauce; up to 1-1/2 c,
           - homemade or store-bought
           Hot sauce (optional)
 
  In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked
  paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the
  pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for
  2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to
  Step 2.
  
  Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tb vegetable oil
  in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden
  brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using,
  to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda
  over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours,
  until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
  
  Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat
  directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and
  stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your
  pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and
  place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow
  cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or
  pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the
  side.
