Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make our easy sweet pork, you will need the following ingredients:
- Pork roast
- Coke Cola
- Brown sugar
- Taco sauce
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to Make Our Instant Pot Easy Sweet Pork Recipe
- Place your roast in an Instant Pot and pour Coca Cola over roast. Sprinkle brown sugar over roast, followed by the taco sauce.
- Put on the lid and push the meat button. Cook on high pressure for 90 minutes. Then do a quick release.
- When it is finished cooking, take the pork roast out of the Instant Pot and shred. Then add back into the juices in the Instant Pot.
- Using a slotted spoon, serve on tortillas with your favorite toppings. I like black beans, onions, tomatoes, guacamole, and cheese. You could also serve it on lettuce and make a delicious salad.
Freezer Meal Modification
Place roast, Coca Cola, brown sugar, and taco sauce into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 90 days. When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1/2 cup chicken broth or water in with the frozen food. Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 180-240 minutes (or about 30 minutes per pound of your roast). Do a NATURAL RELEASE when the timer is done – I even like to let it sit in the Instant Pot for a few hours so that it falls apart so easily. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
Serving Suggestions
This has got to be my most favorite meat. It is so sweet and savory, and I could honestly just eat it plain. We recommend serving this recipe with our Mexican Street Corn Salad, Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice, and Slow Cooker Refried Beans. You can find more Mexican-inspired recipes here.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
Ahh the wonders of a pressure cooker! I love getting new ideas and inspiration. Cannot wait to try this one.
At the top of the recipe it says cook time is 8 hours, but in the body of the recipe in the instructions, it says to cook it for 90 minutes. I assume that the 8 hours would be in the crockpot, but 90 minutes for the instant pot. Just checking for clarification. Thanks!
I was just wondering the same thing!
8 hours is for the slow cooker and 90 minutes is for the instant pot.
I am so happy to see Instant Pot recipes!!!! THANK YOU!!!! I have one well the presser cooker xl and. . . Have no idea what to use it for! Everything I have tried so far has failed (only used 2 times maybe 3) haha my hubby says and you just had to have it. . Haha But I would love to use it more! We both work and are busy! Thanks for EVERYTHING you girls do!!! This family Loves you!!! Keep up the great work!!! Can’t wait for your new cookbook!! It’s preorder on Amazon!!!
I would love to try this, but it’s just the 2 of us. How would I alter the cooking time for a 2 to 3 pound pork roast?
Just freeze the extra. I separate into different containers for a super quick meal.
So I just made this for dinner (or tried to) when I went get it out and shred it the pork was not fully cooked at all. I put it in for another hour and hopefully it will be good tomorrow but dinner tonight was a bust. Any idea what happened? I followed the recipe and my pot appeared to be sealed and working normally.
After 90 min and a quick release will it be soft enough to shred? I thought when cooking meat you did a natural release. Thanks for your help.
Not hard. Work with the 6 lb roast as mentioned. Get a three lb roast and cut everything else in half. You can never have too much sauce. It is good for all kinds of things like over rice, etc.
How long do you cook it from frozen? I don’t believe you said in your video.
I agree. Thought meat used Natural Release. Someone on Facebook ruined her pork loin roast using this recipe. I realize you probably won’t publish this, but, wanted you to know.
In step 3 it says slow cooker and then it says instant pot. Obviously it’s a editing mistake I just wanted to point that out. Also if you are using an 8 quart should I add 1 cup of water?
Thanks for catching that error. If you are using the 8 quart, just follow the directions the same. But if you are nervous for the burn notice, you can always add some water. It won’t change the flavor of the pork.
The meat was incredibly tender from the Instant Pot and so flavorful
