Ingredients

  • 3 lb pork roast
  • 3 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can Coke
  • 16 oz taco sauce I use mild
  • 2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • Place the pork roast and broth into the Instant Pot. Cook on Manual HIGH for 90 minutes, allow for a 30 minutes NPR. 
  • Remove from pot and shred. Discard the liquid inside of the pot and return the shredded meat to the pot.
  • Turn the Instant Pot onto sauté NORMAL. Add in the coke, taco sauce and brown sugar. Simmer until the brown sugar has dissolved.
  • If you'd like your sauce thicker, simply simmer until the sauce reduces to your liking.
  • For crockpot instructions: cook the pork roast on HIGH for 8 hours or until shreddable. Shred the meat. Discard liquid and then return the shredded meat to the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low.
