Categories     main-dish

Time 6h10m

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 onions, peeled and quartered
1 whole pork butt (pork shoulder roast)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 11-ounce can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 cans pop (I use Dr Pepper)
4 packed tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Start by placing the onion quarters in the bottom of a pot. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper, and then place on top of the onions. Pour the chipotle peppers over the top, and then crack open the cans of pop and pour them over the whole thing. Add the brown sugar to the liquid and stir.
  • Cover the pot, put in the oven and cook for at least 6 hours, flipping the roast 2 or 3 times during the cooking process. When it's done, the pork will be dark and weird and wonderful. It'll also be fork-tender. That's when you know it's done.
  • Remove the meat from the pot and shred completely. Then return the meat to the pot and keep in the juice until you need it. Divine!

MILDLY SPICY POP PULLED PORK



Mildly Spicy Pop Pulled Pork image

I modified the original recipe I saw on The Pioneer Woman to suit our family's tastes. This has a hint of heat, but is rather mild. For those who love heat just add more chiles. I've heard of people using a whole 7 oz. can for super spicy pork. We paired this with potatoes au gratin and coleslaw (recipe #218429), but you could also put it on a bun for a nice sandwich.

Provided by JustAMuggle

Categories     Pork

Time 6h10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 onion, peeled and quartered
4 lbs pork roast
salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 -3 chipotle chiles in adobo (from a can)
1 (12 ounce) can Pepsi (or soda of your choice)
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Start by placing the onion quarters in the bottom of an oven-safe pot. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper, and then place on top of the onions. Spoon in the brown sugar. Pour the chipotle peppers over the top, and then pour the soda pop over everything.
  • Cover the pot, put in the oven and cook for about 6 hours, turning the roast 2 or 3 times during cooking. When it's done, the pork will be darker and falling apart. (I used tongs to turn 2-2 lb. roasts and when they were done the pressure of the tongs was making the meat shred.).
  • Remove the meat from the pot and shred completely. At this point you may remove the cooked onions and chipotle peppers if you don't wish to have them with the shredded pork. I hear that keeping the peppers in will add heat to the final dish, though I did not do that. Then return the meat to the pot and keep in the juice until you need it.

  • Cook the pork on low heat for a long period of time. This will allow the meat to cook evenly and become fall-apart tender.
  • Shred the pork with two forks or a meat shredder before serving.
  • Serve the pulled pork on hamburger buns or slider rolls with your favorite toppings, such as barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.
