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!

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.

Tips for Making Spicy Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is the best cut of pork for pulled pork. It's a tough cut of meat, but it becomes incredibly tender when cooked slowly.
  • Use a good quality Dr. Pepper. Not all Dr. Peppers are created equal. Look for a Dr. Pepper that is made with real sugar and has a strong flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with spices. The recipe in the article is just a starting point. Feel free to add more or less spices to taste.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender. This will take at least 8 hours on low in a slow cooker or 6 hours on high. You can also cook the pork in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Let the pork rest before shredding it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more flavorful and juicy.

Conclusion

Spicy Dr. Pepper pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're tailgating at a football game or just having a backyard barbecue, this dish is sure to be a hit. So fire up your slow cooker or oven and get cooking!
