Pop BBQ Pulled Pork

If you like Dr. Pepper and you like BBQ pulled pork then you will love this recipe.  I used the food processor to dice the pork instead of shredding it using forks this time.  I think I prefer the “shredded” pork I normally make, but my son said these were like sloppy joe pulled pork sandwiches and he absolutely loved them.
