Photo: Spicy Pop Pulled Pork Recipe
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
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!

I love this recipe! I saw this on her food blog about a year ago and it gets rave reviews each time I make it! Yes, it is spicy, seeing as how SPICY is in the name of the recipe one would come to that conclusion. But for me it's not overwhelming and I've yet to encounter anyone who thought it was too much. BUT, if you go to the recipe on her blog she does give a warning that it may be too much for some and suggests using only HALF a can of the chipotle peppers instead of a whole one. You can also just use one or two peppers and as much of the adobo sauce as you can. This dish is so easy and delicious that I'd hate to see anyone miss out on it!

OMG, this was so spicy I could not eat it. The flavors were good but way too spicy. After I tasted it, I even tried diluting it by removing all the peppers and adding beef broth, but I couldn't bring it down. If you like really hot foods, then this is for you.

If you do not like spicy food do not make this dish. A little sauce fell on the floor and my dog licked it up - poor thing almost died. I had to quickly trow chicken nuggets in the oven for me and the kids bc it was just too spicy!
