Ur recipe calls for 3 cups of bbq sauce. However, in the cooking instructions it says to add only 2 cups?
ReplyDeleteHi Chris! The remaining cup is for topping the sandwiches when you serve it.
DeleteHope that helps. I really recommend using the KC BBQ Sauce found here http://www.theslowroasteditalian.blogspot.com/2012/08/kc-style-barbecue-sauce-kansas-city.html
Enjoy!
divided - 2 for cooking - the other cup for serving with the sandwiches
DeleteWhen do I put the crockpot in my smoker? ha ha ha just kidding
ReplyDeleteI put two pork butts (errr Boston Roast since all the pork names are changing now, thanks Guvment) on my Egg Friday night and I spent the next 14 hours keeping an eye on them, not sleeping. The crockpot is a reasonable option for people who aren't insane like me :)
First time I used my crockpot the glass lid shattered!! Thank god I was up!!
Deletecan you use something other than dr pepper? I don't drink that and hate to waste
ReplyDeleteMaple syrup or Cane Syrup is even better
DeleteGinger Ale
DeleteGinger Ale works great
DeleteYou can use Root Beer. Excellent.
DeleteI have seen another recipe that used Coke or Diet Coke.
ReplyDeletei think coke i better ...as it's natural sugar ..better then diet ,,which is chemicals ,,
DeleteMy opinion :)
A brown sugar and water mixture might work.
ReplyDeleteI've used GingerAle before because I didn't have Dr. Pepper. You can use any soda. I've seen recipes using orange soda even.
ReplyDeleteI am trying Pepsi. Just happened to have a can.

ReplyDeleteIs the pork roast used boneless?
ReplyDeleteI buy mine with bone if its cheaper and just cut it out.I also use the cheapest pork on sale like newyork shoulder roasts.Just cut the fat and bone and divide into what you want
DeleteWe use rootbeer and it is really good!
ReplyDeleteI live in Australia. It seems that most recipes ask for kosher salt. I can not find. what is it? reg salt?
ReplyDeleteBasically, it's just larger crystal salt.
DeleteOr sea salt
DeleteBasically, it's larger crystal salt
ReplyDeleteCan you use regular salt?
DeleteYes! Just substitute 3/4 teaspoon table salt for each 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Enjoy!
DeleteCan I just say "YUM"!!! Pinned it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this recipe. I don't have a pulled pork in my database so I might as well start with the best. And perfect for football season. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteI've made this before and it is YUMMY. Also used with root beer. To the viewer who hates Dr. Pepper, I also hate the taste, but believe me, you do not taste Dr. Pepper in the finished product. Just YUMMINESS.
ReplyDeleteI got a Crock Pot for Christmas, I tried this recipe and it was fantastic, I used regular salt and pepper, and I used a regular Coke.
ReplyDeleteCan you use Diet pop?
ReplyDeleteCan you use diet pop?
ReplyDeleteCan you use diet pop?
ReplyDeleteI'm really not sure why pop needs to be added at all. I smoke pork butts regularly and mop them hourly with just apple juice.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good!! We're all about pulled pork over here. Also wanted to say how much I love your branding. I always know when a recipe is yours just by the fonts you use on your photos. You're awesome! Alli @ Cupcake Diaries
ReplyDeleteCan you not use the BBQ sauce for the Jack Daniels recipe for the pork chops that yall shared Donna
ReplyDeleteDo you have a recipe for South Carolina style barbecue sauce? True pulled pork has this on it.
ReplyDeleteWow, this would be perfect for Memorial Day!
