The best Pulled Pork

Jump to recipe

This pulled pork is one of my most popular recipes between my family and friends. It is my go-to meal when I have company because I can make it ahead of time, it is super easy, and everybody loves it.

I found the original recipe about 14 years ago, back when food blogs were not very popular. I really have no idea where it first came from. I have modified the recipe over the years to adjust it to my taste and needs and I have to say, this is by far my favorite version.

Other cooking methods

Crock Pot. I have made this pulled pork in the crock pot many times and it always comes out perfect. The Dutch oven is my favorite method but if you want to make this in the morning and have it ready at dinner time just add the chunks of pork to the cruck pot, cover with the sauce and cook on low, undisturbed for 6-8 hours.

Oven. Brown the pork, pour over the sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to a 350 degrees preheated oven and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs or until de meat is very tender.

About

Hello, my name is Marisol Chancellor. I was born and raised in Monterrey Mexico. I’ve been living in Texas for 12 years and even when I love barbeque, fruit cobblers and sweet tea, there’s something that has the power of transporting me right back to my mom’s kitchen and gives me a little piece of home, cooking. I grew up in the kitchen and for me, memories are always linked to food, and behind the food, well, there’s always a story that comes along. So, please let me share with you my love for cooking and while we are at it, let’s share some memories, because let’s be honest, we are also hungry for nostalgia.
