BBQ Sauce

Pulled Pork

Method

BBQ Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.

Pulled Pork Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Pork

    Season the pork shoulder generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place in a slow cooker or a large pot. Pour in 1 cup of the prepared BBQ sauce over the pork.

  2. 3

    Cook the Pork

    If using a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredable. If using a pot, cover and simmer on low heat for 4-5 hours, adding water if necessary to keep moist.

  3. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the cooker or pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces and mix in additional BBQ sauce to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, layer the shredded pulled pork, followed by mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and cheddar cheese. Top with pineapple chunks and sliced jalapenos.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
