Cook Time: 510 minutes

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 225F (104C). Place a small rack inside a Dutch oven.
  2. Rub the pork roast with the barbecue spice rub, then place it on the rack inside the Dutch oven.
  3. Cover the Dutch oven and cook in the preheated oven until the roast is fork-tender, about 8 hours.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
