ORIGINAL DR PEPPER RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place ribs in the bottom of your slow cooker, pour 1 can of soda over them. Cover and slow cook for 7 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with foil then place a wire rack over the top.
• Combine 3/4 cup BBQ sauce with 1/2 cup Dr. Pepper soda.
• Carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker, placing on rack. Brush tops with sauce. Bake for 15 minutes, flip and brush other side. Bake 15 minutes more.
• Serve remaining sauce at the table.

Steps:

• Put beans in the pressure cooker or Instant Pot and cover them with water so there’s 2 inches over them (10 cups).
• Soak overnight, but don’t drain.
• Next day, cover and seal the pressure cooker (or Instant Pot) over medium heat, when the pot comes to pressure cook high pressure 20 minutes. Natural release.
• While the pressure releases, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-low heat and add garlic, tomato paste, cilantro, red onion, pepper, bouillon cube and saute about 10 minutes, stirring.
• Open the pressure cooker when the steam releases, take 25% of the beans and liquid and transfer to the blender. Puree well then return to the pot.
• Add adobo seasoning and salt (about 1 teaspoon), or to taste. 
• Add the sauteed vegetables to the beans and bring to a boil over medium heat. (In the Instant Pot use the saute button.)
• Boil uncovered over medium-low heat until the texture becomes creamy and the liquid reduces, about 30 minutes stirring often. 
• Remove cilantro, pepper and onion and serve over rice. Makes 9 cups.
