Serving8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 pound pork shoulder roast, 1 roast (best cut of pork)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 12 ounces Dr. Pepper, 1 can
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce
Instructions
- Rub pork roast with garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and pepper. Place roast in Instant Pot.
- Pour Dr. Pepper and your favorite BBQ sauce on top of roast.
- Place lid on the Instant Pot and lock in place. Set the knob to sealing, not venting.
- Push the Manual button and set for 60 minutes. If your roast is bigger, cook it for longer.
- (For example if you have a 5 pound roast, you will need to cook it for 90 minutes.)
Notes
To turn this recipe into a freezer meal, follow the following steps:
- Place leftover pork, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, black pepper, chili powder, Dr. Pepper, and BBQ sauce into a gallon-sized freezer bag. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last up to 60 days.
- When ready to use, dump ingredients from bag into Instant Pot and add 1/2 cup of beef broth or little water in with the frozen food.
- Place the lid on top, move the valve to SEALING, and press the MANUAL button. Set timer for 90-100 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.
