  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  7. Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the pork.
  8. Cover the pot tightly and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the pork is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  10. Shred the pork using two forks.
  11. Return the shredded pork to the pot with the remaining sauce and stir to combine.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, you can add a teaspoon of liquid smoke to the BBQ sauce mixture.
  • If you don’t have a Dutch oven, you can use a baking dish and cover it tightly with aluminum foil.
  • This pulled pork can be made ahead of time and reheated.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less cayenne pepper.
