*You can also use a slow cooker instead of a dutch oven and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
*INSTANT POT: Follow the instructions the same way but do the sauté part in the instant pot then put it on manual for 55 minutes!

Was this supposed to be covered? It’s not even close to being done after 3 hours
Yes it should be covered! How big was your piece of meat?
I didn’t cover it, so that’s why BUT… my husband said that was the best pulled pork I’ve made and we, including my two toddlers, ate it for lunches for three days straight! It was delicious.
Oh yay!!! That’s great news!! 🙂
Can i ask what brand of BBQ sauce you used that was Whole 30 compliant? Having such a hard time finding one. Thanks !
Tessemaes!! It is so delish and you can find it at Whole Foods!
Curious if you have ideas for how to do this in the instant pot
Just added instant pot instructions for you!!
Sadly; I used the instant pot directions and it didn’t cook throughout. Not sure if I used the wrong setting on the instant pot
It should just be the manual high pressure setting! Mine was 3 pounds, was yours more! I should note the weight!
