Author: NecessaryIndulgences.com
- 1 5-7 pound pork roast, preferably shoulder or Boston butt
- 3 TBS paprika (smoked, if you have it)
- 1 TBS garlic powder
- 1 TBS brown sugar
- 1 TBS dry mustard
- 3 TBS coarse Kosher salt
- Apple juice or beer
- 2 cans of Root Beer (not diet!)
- 1 12oz jar of Chili Sauce
- Preheat the oven to 500F.
- Mix the paprika, garlic power, brown sugar, dry mustard, and salt together in a small bowl.
- Wash and dry the pork butt and then cover with the dry rub mixture.
- Let the pork butt marinate for as long as you have time for — as little as 1 hour or overnight — covered in the refrigerator.
- Cover the bottom of a large roasting pan with apple juice or beer.
- Put the pork butt in the roasting pan and cook uncovered for about 20 minutes at 500F.
- Take the pork out of the oven. Turn the oven down to 300F.
- Tightly cover the pork.
- Bake for about 6 hours.
- Basically, roast the pork until it’s falling apart.
- Shred with two forks.
- Sauce: Combine the Root Beer and Chili Sauce and bring to boil. Simmer until the liquid reduces into a magical thick sauce.
