  • Combine everything: Return the shredded meat to the pot with all the veggies and juices. Adjust the barbecue sauce and salt to your liking.

Notes

  • To Store. Allow the pulled pork to cool to room temperature before storing. This helps prevent condensation, which can lead to sogginess. Transfer the pulled pork to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
  • Freezing. For longer storage, place the pulled pork in a freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Be sure to label the container with the date for easy tracking.
  • To Reheat. Place the pulled pork in a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of beef broth or water to keep it moist. Stir occasionally until heated through.
