Spicy Pulled Pork

1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit in a 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. 

2. Place onions in the slow cooker. Top with meat. In a medium bowl, stir together barbecue sauce and Dr. Pepper beverage. Pour sauce mixture over meat. 

3. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. 

4. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the meat. Return meat to cooker to combine with sauce and onions and keep warm. 

5. Using a slotted spoon, divide meat mixture among half of the baguette slices. Top with remaining slices and secure with wooden picks. If desired, serve sandwiches with sliced pickles.
