My DIL Jessica and friend Mindy requested an easy recipe for Pulled Pork recently…….. she’ll blog and tell you all about it soon! The pulled pork is easy and delicious with Flakey Baking Powder Biscuits.
Roasting time - 4 hours
Meat choice: 3# pork butt or shoulder
Oven temp: 350 degrees
Serves: 8 (2 - 3” biscuit sandwiches each)
♥PANTRY, FRIDGE, MARKET♥♥
1 3# pork butt or shoulder
1 pint favorite barbecue sauce
♥Prep
Line the bottom and sides of an oven proof pan or baking dish with foil (for easy cleanup). Pat pork dry with paper towels. If the butt is tied with string, remove and flatten.
♥ Bake
Roast for 2 1/2 hours. Pour barbecue sauce over the pork and roast for an additional 1 1/2 hours. Test: If you have a meat thermometer, the internal temp should be between 170-200 degrees and/or the pork should be “fall apart tender”
♥Prepare to serve
Remove from oven and cool for at least 20 minutes. Pour off the fat, saving as much sauce as possible. Shred meat, adding the sauce drippings.
♥♥ WAYS TO “just wing it” ♥♥ consider or substitute
*consider the slow cooker method for easy, no worry roasting: set on highest temp for 1 hour, add barbecue sauce, turn to low (not warm) or medium and cook for 4-5 additional hours.
*roasting or slow cooker: cook half way a day ahead then finish the following day
*not a pork lover: try with roast chicken, adjusting roasting time
