Frequently Asked Questions
When we make this pork recipe, we tend to stick to a 4-5 lb pork tenderloin or roast. However, you can also use a pork shoulder as well, especially if you already have one ready to go!
If your pulled pork seems to be a bit too sweet, you can always add a little bit of apple cider vinegar or liquid smoke to cut the sweetness a bit, or even a little bit of hot sauce or smoked paprika if you enjoy a little kick in the dish. However, I would avoid using anything like soy sauce or coconut aminos as it might make the pulled pork too salty.
You can get as simple or as fancy as you desire! Popular toppings include the following: green onions, cheddar cheese, full size pieces of bacon, coleslaw, BBQ sauce, and more! If serving a crowd, a great way is to set up a toppings bar and let everyone pick out what they like best.
We don’t recommend it. Pork is the most tender when cooked on low. If you want a quicker option, try our Instant Pot Pulled Pork Recipe.

This sounds amazing! Do you have a suggestion for what I can use besides Coke? I’m sensitive to an ingredient in it. Would I want a different fizzy beverage?
Any non-diet dark soda would work (Dr. Pepper or even root beer would work!)
Will I be able to make this recipe ahead of time and freeze it?
This should freeze great!
My husband loved this pulled pork recipe!
