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!

OMGoodness this was tasteeeee!!! I did mine in a crock pot overnight and it was perfect for Cinco De Mayo tacos. I rubbed my pork with adobo seasoning and did a quick browning on both sides before putting it in the crock pot and that meat just fell apart and everybody loved it. I also added a couple of garlic cloves since I put garlic in everything. I was worried that the whole can of chipotles would be too spicey, so I only used 3 of them and some of the sauce. I will definitely kick it up a little bit more next time, but it was perfect just the way it was. I did it low and slow for about 10 hours and then just kept it on warm till we were ready to eat. The kids loved it so much they took the leftovers as sandwiches the next day for school. That is always a good sign. Thanks Ree

Delicious! And so simple! I guess if you don't like spicy you should cut down on the chipotle peppers, but for those who like some spice, it's not so hot that your mouth is on fire. You feel the heat but not in an uncomfortable way. This is just so easy and will be great as she shows it on her website....a nice warm tortilla....some of this pork....and whatever else you prefer in your tacos. I love it and I know my family will too! :
