Place the pork roast in a slow cooker and add the minced onions , garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Add the Dr Pepper and about 1/2 of the bottle of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce
Cover and cook 4-5 hours on high or 7-8 hours on low. The meat should be tender
Remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred it with 2 forks in a plan. Add remaining BBQ sauce and juices from the slow cooker until it is to desired consistency.
This is ready to serve immediately . The juices can be drained from the slow cooker and meat added back to keep warm. We like ours served in a bun with coleslaw.

Does this freeze well?
I have not froze this particular recipe but I have others . I recommend saving some of the rendered juices and freezing already shredded in that . Once defrosted and heated you may have to add a bit more BBQ sauce.
