DUTCH OVEN PULLED PORK

I love how simple and easy this Pulled Pork recipe comes together in the Dutch oven! Pulled pork is so comforting any time of the year and it’s even better when smothered into a sandwich. 

This Pulled Pork is tender and slow cooked in spices and a savory broth. The Dutch oven brings all of the flavors together as the pork soaks up all of the juices. I love serving this Dutch Oven Pulled Pork on a toasted hamburger bun with pickles and more bbq sauce.

• Pork shoulder (boneless): this is the most tender and flavorful cut of pork. All of the pork tissues make this pulled pork shred easily once cooked.
• Spice rub: Brown sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin.
• Beer: any dark or lager will add rich and complex flavors. 
• Bbq sauce: any of your favorite brands will work!
• Hamburger buns: I always prefer them toasted or warmed.

The juice that the pulled pork simmers in for a few hours is succulent and has so many flavors from all of the spices, beer and pork. Once the bbq sauce gets stirred into the shredded pork, even more flavor gets added. The pork is so tender it will easily come apart when you pull it with two forks. You will be amazed!
