Best 2 Simple And Yummy Pulled Pork Recipes

Pulled pork is an American barbecue dish made from pork shoulder, which is cooked slowly over low heat until it becomes tender and flavorful. The meat is then shredded and typically served with a barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and potato salad. In this article, we'll provide you with three delicious recipes for pulled pork sandwiches, each with its unique flavor profile:

1. **Classic Southern Pulled Pork:** This recipe uses a traditional dry rub made with brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. The pork is cooked low and slow in a smoker or on a grill, resulting in a smoky, tender, and juicy pulled pork that melts in your mouth.

2. **Sweet and Spicy Pulled Pork:** If you prefer a sweeter and spicier pulled pork, this recipe is for you. It features a homemade barbecue sauce made with ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of cayenne pepper. The sauce adds a perfect balance of sweetness and heat to the tender pulled pork.

3. **Carolina Vinegar-Based Pulled Pork:** For a tangy and flavorful pulled pork, try this Carolina-style recipe. It uses a vinegar-based sauce made with apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, and spices. The pork is cooked in a slow cooker, resulting in fall-off-the-bone tenderness and a delightful tangy flavor.

No matter which recipe you choose, you'll end up with a delicious and satisfying pulled pork sandwich that will be a hit at your next barbecue or gathering. So fire up your smoker or grill and get ready to enjoy some mouthwatering pulled pork!

Time 8h5m

Yield 2 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 -4 lbs pork shoulder
12 ounces Dr. Pepper cola
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 ounce barbecue sauce (I use Stubb's honey pecan, it has an amazing flavor)
1 (16 ounce) bag coleslaw mix
1 -1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sugar
8 ciabatta rolls

Steps:

Turn crock pot on "low".
Rub seasoning salt and black pepper into roast.
Pour Dr. Pepper into crock pot. (I used diet).
Place shoulder roast in crock pot, cover and allow to cook 6-8 hours.
Place cole slaw mix, mayo and sugar in a bowl. Mix well, cover and refrigerate. Cole slaw will sweat and be a good consistency by the time the meat is cooked.
Pull apart meat using two forks, discarding fat. I leave the meat in larger chunks instead of smaller strands and prefer the texture when eating it.
Heap onto ciabatta rolls, add a shot of Stubb's honey pecan and top with slaw.

Tips:

For the best results, use a pork shoulder roast that is at least 4 pounds. This will ensure that you have enough meat to feed a crowd.
To make sure the pork is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can also cook the pork in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours.
Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or baked beans.
Leftover pulled pork can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion. With these simple tips, you can easily make pulled pork at home that will impress your family and friends.
