Review:
I got this out of a Taste of Home Slow Cooker book I bought at the grocery store. It was very easy to make and tasted good. I used Dr. Pepper instead of a regular cola because we didn't have any in our house (my husband is a Dr. Pepper man and I really don't drink soda). I don't think there was too much of a difference but I would like to try it again with a regular cola next time.
Shredding the meat was the most difficult. I used the two fork method and my fingers were killing me. I could have probably let the meat cook a little longer to make it more tender and easier to shred. I tried finding an easier way to shred online and the only things I found were your fingers or forks.
There wasn't much fat to remove from the cooking juices so it was difficult for me to get what there was.
I forgot to by the proper rolls for the sandwiches so I used regular sandwich bread. If you find yourself in the same predicament toast your bread lightly first so it won't get completely soggy.
It was very easy to make and it would be a great make ahead for potlucks and parties.
