- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 8 Buns or rolls (optional, for serving)

Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the onion into thin rings and place them at the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and add them on top of the onion layer.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the pork shoulder.
Step 4
Place the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the onions and garlic in the crock pot.
Step 5
Pour the Coca-Cola evenly over the pork shoulder.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Once cooked, carefully remove the pork from the crock pot and place it on a large cutting board or tray.

Shred the pork using two forks, discarding any excess fat or bone.
Step 9
Drain most of the liquid from the crock pot, leaving about 1/2 cup to keep the pork moist.
Step 10
Return the shredded pork to the crock pot and add 1 cup of barbecue sauce. Stir to combine and heat on LOW for an additional 15-20 minutes.
