Categories     main dish     meat

Time 6h5m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole large onion
1 whole pork shoulder ("pork butt"), 5 to 7 pounds
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 11-ounce can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 cans Dr Pepper
2 tbsp. brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Peel the onion and cut it into wedges. Lay them in the bottom of a large dutch oven. Generously salt and pepper the pork roast, then set it on top of the onions in the pan. Pour the can of chipotle peppers over the pork (include the sauce.) Pour in both cans of Dr Pepper. Add brown sugar to the juice and stir in.
  • Place lid tightly on pot, then set pot in the oven. Cook for at least six hours, turning roast two or three times during the cooking process. Check meat after six hours; it should be absolutely falling apart (use two forks to test.) If it's not falling apart, return to the oven for another hour.
  • Remove meat from pot and place on a cutting board or other work surface. Use two forks to shred meat, discarding large pieces of fat. Strain as much of the fat off the top of the cooking liquid as you can and discard it. Return the shredded meat to the cooking liquid, and keep warm until ready to serve. (You can also refrigerate the meat and liquid separately, then remove hardened fat once it's cold. Then heat up the liquid on the stovetop and return the meat to the liquid to warm up. Serve on warm flour tortillas or hamburger buns. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, grated cheese, avocado slices, salsa, and whatever else you'd like.

Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork image

This recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. First of all: pork butt. It isn't a pork butt at all, but a pork shoulder. Second, it's just a wonderful cut of meat. It cooks up moist and tender and results in so much meat, you can either feed a crowd or stretch the meat into at least two or three different meals for your fam damily. this fun and sweet/spicy concoction of Dr. Pepper and chipotle peppers really did turn out to be a lovely combination. If you haven't ever tried it, cook up a pork shoulder sometime soon. You'll be amazed at how much you can do with the stuff.

I served this at my son's graduation party and kept it warm in a slow cooker after roasting it in the oven. The pork is superb by itself or piled high on rolls. For a classic combo, serve it with warm biscuits and coleslaw. -Michelle Gauer, Spicer, Minnesota

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or pork butt are the best cuts for pulled pork because they are tough and flavorful. They will become tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what will give your pulled pork its flavor, so make sure to use a blend of spices that you enjoy. Some popular ingredients for pulled pork rubs include brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Cook the pork shoulder low and slow: The best way to cook pulled pork is to cook it low and slow. This will allow the meat to tenderize and develop flavor. Cook the pork shoulder at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a Dutch oven or slow cooker: A Dutch oven or slow cooker is the best way to cook pulled pork because it will help to keep the meat moist and tender. If you are using a Dutch oven, be sure to brown the pork shoulder in the pot before adding the liquid and spices.
  • Add liquid to the pot: You will need to add liquid to the pot in order to keep the pork shoulder moist. Some popular liquids for pulled pork include water, chicken broth, beer, or apple cider vinegar.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding: Once the pork shoulder is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before shredding it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be served on sandwiches, tacos, nachos, or pizza. It can also be used as a filling for burritos or empanadas. No matter how you choose to serve it, pulled pork is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
