Last month I put up a recipe for Hawaiian Pulled Pork that is one of many of the different easy pulled pork recipes I have been cooking. This Kansas Pulled Pork recipe is my favorite one yet. I love pulled pork because you don’t really have to do anything to cook up a delicious meal. Just season the pork, put it over some heat, and let it cook for a few hours. Easy & Simple.
Delicious Rating: This is some delicious pork! The seasoning is spot on to give it a deep smoky flavor with a little bit of spice. I cook mine in a dutch oven on the stove and it turns out succulent every time. I serve it on a bun with some Red Cabbage Cole Slaw…or eat out of the pot with a fork, still good!
Add all the ingredients except the pork in a bowl and mix well.
Put pork in the heavy pot and add spices.
Rub spice mixture over all the pork.
Cover with water.
Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
Cover with a lid and reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook for an additional 2-3 hours.
Shred pork in pot with a couple of forks.

I usually buy pork shoulder or a mix of pork butt and shoulder. Trim only the huge pieces of excess fat but leave the regular fatty pieces for extra flavor.
Do not pour out the extra liquid in the pot when the pork is done. Shred the pork in the pot and it will soak up all the extra juice…yum!
So, I gotta know – Why is it “Kansas” pulled pork? Was the pig not taught evolution in school, or did he change his name to “Google” for a month? (Disclaimer: I live in Kansas).
I’m making this for dinner tonight, it looks incredible! Question, after I rub the seasoning on the meat what should I do with the remaining seasoning? I have about half left, add it to the pot with water or just toss it? I don’t want to lose any favor. Thanks!!!
You can add the extra seasoning to the pot, I usually give the meat as good a rub as I can so as to take in the whole mixture and add any left to the pot before adding the water. Let me know how the pork turns out for you GM!
Thank you Raven! In the morning I coated the meat with the seasoning and then recoated the meat with the remaining seasoning right before starting it so I ended up using it all! After three hours I shredded it then cooked it for an additional 30 minutes and let me tell you.. It was fabulous! My family loved it and said they want me to only make your pulled pork from now on. Thank you for sharing!!

It is the spice rub that is commonly used on BBQ from Kansas!
