Dutch Oven Pulled Pork
A wonderful oven-roasted BBQ pulled pork in a Dutch oven that can be made with any pork roast. Low-and-slow roasting up above the juices is the key. Serve by itself or on buns. I like mine with coleslaw and a root beer-BBQ sauce on multigrain buns. Baked beans are a nice side dish, too.
