These delicious BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches are the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it meal—perfect for busy days or casual gatherings. Made with just a handful of pantry staples like Coke, salt, pepper, and McCormick Steak Seasoning, the pork becomes irresistibly tender and flavorful as it slow cooks. Pile it high on your favorite buns and top with coleslaw or pickles for a crowd-pleasing, no-fuss dinner that everyone will love. Simple ingredients, bold flavor, and zero stress!

 
Let me show you how to make it happen…
I used a Pork Sirloin Tip Roast because they have less fat, but a Pork Loin or Butt Roast would work as well. 
Also, I have made it with both Root Beer and Dr. Pepper. Both were wonderful and had little difference in taste. 
 
1. Place your pretty pork roast on a plate. Season it generously with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Pat the seasoning into the roast with your fingers.
 
2. Into a large hot skillet pour about 2 T olive oil. Throw your Pork Roast seasoned side down into the skillet. (Ok don’t really ”throw” it. We don’t want pork guts to be flung anywhere! Just lay it down gently. Seasoned side down.)
3. Grab your Montreal Steak Seasoning…..
 
and sprinkle it on the unseasoned side of the meat. Let the pork roast get nice and brown. Turn it over and sear it on the other side as well. The Montreal Steak Seasoning will turn a bit crusty. That’s what you want. A nice crusty sear. Yum. This will really give your meat a nice smokey/salty flavor. It should smell pretty darn fabulous, too. 
 
4. Stab that bad boy Pork Roast with a couple of forks and transfer it to a large crock pot. 
5. Pour the soda over the top of your meat. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours, or until the meat shreds nicely with a fork.
6. Remove the roast from the pan, shred it all up and place it back in the soda juices. Let it cook for 1 hour more. 
7. Drain the juices from the pan and pour the BBQ sauce in. Stir it well to incorporate. Cook for 30-60 more minutes. 
Serve on some nice rolls. 
Enjoy!

  1. Hi,

    Was wondering if I could do the barbecue pork in the crock pot on high for half the time, or how I could adjust so that it wasn’t for 7 hours.

    1. Hi Amy,
      I haven’t ever tried making this in the instant pot, but am told by Instant Pot users that it works super well. Here is a link to some info about general cooking time for the Instant Pot. https://instantpot.com/instantpot-cooking-time/
      Best of luck to you!

  3. Hi, this says it could be for a large crowd. Do you have the quantities that would work for large groups? Or how many servings would come out of a two pack roast from Costco?

    Thank you,
    Jenny

  5. All the recipes sound luscious. I’m tired of the same old meals cooking for one. Jamie’s cooking made my mouth water. Love the shows and the recipes. Trying new things is fun and satisfying.
