Crock Pot Coca-Cola Pulled Pork Sandwiches
This Crock Pot Coca-Cola Pulled Pork Sandwiches recipe is the perfect dish to make ahead of time, before a camping trip, for a fabulous dinner!
Friends! Today’s my last post with an amazing opportunity for you to win vouchers for (2) round-trip flights to anywhere in the continental U.S., Caribbean, Mexico, Central America or Hawaii, plus a $500 Visa gift card ($1,700 approximate retail value).
I’m partnering with Coca-Cola and hosting this fabulous #ShareaCokeContest. But first, let me tell you about our recent Westy-style camping trip in Oregon! (Contest is now closed.)
It’s no secret, my favorite part of camping in the summertime is taking our Westfalia camper van (otherwise known as Vanagon) to the great outdoors.
This time we enjoyed a weekend with our dear friends, hiked the east side of Crater Lake, enjoyed camping right on the Williamson River. (My hubby fly-fishing, off to the left.)
As we always do when we camp, we share and divide up the meals.
There’s nothing quite like camping food.
I set a festive table. Decorating is easy with beautiful scenery as the backdrop, and we keep packed red, white, and blue dishes and cutlery.
I surprised our dear friends with personalized Coke bottles.
Did you know that you can create personalized Coke bottles with the names of your friends and family on them?
Anything customized makes for good conversation. If you’re planning a party this summer, don’t forget that “Share a Coke” is perfect for celebrating life’s most sharable moments.

Crock Pot Coca-Cola Pulled Pork Sandwiches.
This time I made Crock Pot Coca-Cola Pulled Pork before we left, so it was easy to serve these yummy sandwiches and slaw for dinner one night.
Now let’s dig in and learn how to make this delicious slow cooker pork!
Start off with onions, green chills, and 2 bottles of COKE.
I used a shoulder pork butt, bone in, cooked on HIGH for 8 hours, to make the meat soft and tender and falling off the bone.
Next, we strained the juices off, kept the onions, pulled the meat off the bone, and added salt and pepper and a sriracha sauce!
Sliced up some cabbage for a light slaw (try this yummy Napa Cabbage Cole Slaw Salad recipe!)
Camping Cooking Tip: Cook ahead at home!
The perfect summer (camping) meal, because you can cook the meat at home, and assemble the sandwiches right at the picnic table!

We spend summer weekends at our cabin with our extended family.
Shareable moments with family & friends is typically around a shared meal. Good & good wine (or a coca cola ?) always bring people together. Can’t wait to try this pulled pork recipe.
Our family is large enough that every meal is now a potluck meal. Life is less formal that way, but it’s always fun to outdo our last dish!
We always celebrate by being together, usually a meal sometimes just sharing time.
Friday night board games are pretty cool for us :)
now I want to go camping! My mouth is watering for this pulled pork even at 6am!!
Thanks for the recipe friend!!
I love getting both sides of the family together to share a meal. It’s a wonderful blessing for my husband and I to have parents who get a long with each other.
I love picnics so in the summer we go on picnics and in the winter lots of good southern food in the dinning room.
Hi Friend, you know how we do it up here on the hill…
Twinkling city lights for our backdrop, rustic tables and al fresco eating; rustling palms and wild turkey gobbles for music and always a good red to go with….
Potluck is one of my favorite entertainment ideals. Especially when the RE is on the guest list. Having friends bring one thing to share is creative inspiration for a foodie. We love to wag our heads to popping taste buds and then….our feet do a little happy-food-dance.
Love to have bbq’s and potlucks with friends and family. Potlucks are my favorite because you get to enjoy and sample so many different dishes and recipes. I get asked to make my potato salad quite often…really really good – my Mother’s recipe that I’ve tweaked a tad.
Well because our family is spread out all over the United States, we often celebrate sharable moments with special Skype or FaceTime calls! And of course we send lots of pictures. But with friends close by, we love informal gatherings that allow all the small children to run free and give the adults a chance to eat whenever they have a kid-free moment! This means lots of serve-yourself-style meals and disposable plates and always something the kids “won’t like” so that there is sure to be enough for the adults :)
One of our best family celebrations involves a craw dad catching competition and potluck. We’ve been doing this every year on the 4th of July for 20+ years. :-)
In my family, sharable moments are celebrated with laughter, food, and adventure!
We celebrate shareable moments by simply re-telling our favorite memories, which inevitably means lots of laughter. Laughter creates happy memories and is the best gift to share with friends and family.
We like to have pot luck suppers and everyone brings their favorite food to make. Picnic tables, good food and family make for the best times.
We love to entertain down by our lake with friends and family and of course good food.
We love to entertain at our ranch and that always includes lots of good homemade food and some delicious beverages.
Definitely going to try this recipe tonight! Looks fabulous!! I love making memories with my kids helping me in the kitchen and teaching them that food is always best when shared with friends and family!!
I can’t wait to make this pulled pork… looks amazing! We like to celebrated by having family bbqs!
Love to celebrate with family gathering and family camping!
Is that 1/2 cup of Srirache sauce or what? I have made this with Root Beer and it is tasty!
I love sharing a meal – there is not other way to connect with people and bring community – food is fun and celebration – can’t wait to try this recipe!!
Your personalized Coke bottles are so fun. We need to camp with you sometime.
I’m pretty sure Eric would go crazy over these sandwiches. And that slaw on top looks fabulous!
My family has lots of traditions. We have our week in the Berkshires, sometimes little weekends in Vermont. Eric’s family is all about the Cape, and that’s where we’ve started to celebrate our milestones. We’ve been doing an annual trip with friends to the Cape house around the time of our anniversary and his birthday. Seems like the perfect way to celebrate.
Yum…looks good. I love prepping stuff ahead of time, whether camping (which we haven’t done in years), or going to a vacation home…prepping ahead leaves more time for fun and less work.
