This recipe is an entertaining staple. I make it for family get togethers, work parties, or anytime you need to bring a main dish without breaking the bank. I have used pork butt and pork loin roasts. I just buy whatever is on sale. Make sure to adjust the chipotle to suit your families taste and be sure to try the grilled pineapple. It really puts it over the top. Forgive the photo as we lost the one with tortillas and had to take a quick one with a roll.
Sweet and Spicy Pork
- 1 4-5 lb pork roast
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 Onion – peeled, roughly chopped
- 25 oz. Dr. Pepper
- ½ can of Chipotle Peppers in Adoba (or to taste, they are hot!)
- ½ C. Brown Sugar
Peel and chop onion, add to large dutch oven, salt and pepper your roast all over, put in pot fat side up, add Dr. Pepper, chipotles, and brown sugar. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 3-4 hours.
When very tender, shred meat with forks and mix in with the sauce. I serve this many ways; my favorite is with corn tortillas, a sliced grilled pineapple and taco fixings. Another way is to serve as sliders on Hawaiian rolls.
Enjoy!
