Dutch Oven Pulled Pork Recipe
Barbecue Pulled Pork Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (3-pound) boneless pork loin roast, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon barbecue spice rub, or to taste
- 1 (18-ounce) bottle barbecue sauce, or to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 225F (104C). Place a small rack inside a Dutch oven.
- Rub the pork roast with the barbecue spice rub, then place it on the rack inside the Dutch oven.
- Cover the Dutch oven and cook in the preheated oven until the roast is fork-tender, about 8 hours.
- Once done, shred the pork roast using two forks and return the shredded meat to the Dutch oven. Add some of the roasting juices and a generous amount of barbecue sauce.
- Place the Dutch oven on the stovetop and let the mixture simmer over medium heat for at least 30 minutes.
Recipe Tip
Using a rack inside the Dutch oven keeps the roast out of the juices while cooking, which helps prevent it from drying out. If you dont have a rack, you can use an overturned disposable pie pan with holes pierced in it.

My pork shoulder was 2 lbs but I still slow cooked it for 8 hours. You could smell that delicious aroma throughout the whole house. I wasn't sure what would happen without any liquid in the dutch oven and the pork shoulder sitting on top of a rack. It worked wonderfully. Definitely a recipe to make when you have all day or are stuck at home. A recipe I will keep. Thanks for sharing it.

Made this and it was delicious. Added a small amount of apple juice and onions to the bottom of the Dutch oven. Combined after cooking and it was superb
