Spicy Barbeque

This Spicy BBQ recipe is so amazing and easy. I love throwing a pork shoulder in the oven with just a few other ingredients.

Servings: 18+ depending on size
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 6 hours depending on size

Ingredients:
1 large onion
1 7-10 lbs. pork shoulder
1 can (11 oz.) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 cans Dr. Pepper/Coke (2 cups)
1 tbs minced garlic
2 tbs brown sugar
salt & pepper
your favorite BBQ Sauce

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray large pan with nonstick spray.
3. Chop onion in to large chunks and spread across the pan.
4. Remove any excess fat from the pork shoulder.
5. Run salt and pepper over the shoulder.
6. Place the pork in the pan.
7. Put the peppers and sauce in the pan.
8 Make sure you get all the sauce out of the can by pouring the Dr. Pepper into the can and then into the pan. This helps pick up any sauce left in the can.
9. Add in the brown sugar and stir around to break up large chunks.
10. Place a large piece of foil over pork to ensure it doesn’t get too brown.
11. Cook for about an hour per pound. I usually check it after about 4-5 hours. If you stick a fork in it and it starts to fall apart, that’s perfect! If after cooking the full time and it’s not to the point of falling off the bone, let it cook another hour and check it again.
12. Let it cool a bit and then pull it all off the bone. You can serve it that way if you prefer. However, I prefer shredded BBQ over pulled BBQ, so I throw a few cups of the pulled meat into my food processor. I leave some pulled BBQ for those that would rather have it that way.
13. Serve on buns or rolls or for those on low carb diet can just have it by itself.
