Pulled Pork Made in the Oven
Last year for my husband’s 40th birthday bash, I served a tripled batch of my friend Merry’s crockpot pulled pork recipe, and it was a big hit! Since then I’ve made this recipe at least 5 times, and over this time I’ve tweaked it for our particular tastebuds with different spices, and now I want to share my oven roasted version with you. I prefer to bake my pulled pork, so I use my cast iron casserole dish
because it holds the heat so well, and the pork comes out so tender.
Makes a big batch.
I love this easy recipe because it makes a big batch of pulled pork which is great for parties and large gatherings. But’s it’s also great because I can freeze half for another day.
Serving Suggestions:
Make pulled pork sandwiches with fresh white buns, coleslaw (recipe below) and pickles. Serve with corn on the cob, mac + cheese, brown beans or potato salad.
Oven Roasted Pulled Pork Recipe Tips:
- PORK: This recipe uses pork tenderloins, but you can also use pork shoulder, pork butt, or any pork roast.
- BROTH: This recipe calls for beef broth, but you can also use chicken stock or vegetable broth.
- BBQ Sauce: Use your favourite pre-made sauce. I use at least 1 cup.
Slow Cooker Option:
You can also make this pulled pork in the slow cooker. Follow the instructions as listed below, but instead put all of the ingredients into a crockpot and set it to LOW for 8 hours. Read this post for more details on how to make slow cooker pulled pork.

Coleslaw:
