This pulled pork BBQ recipe is my go to for feeding a crowd without breaking the bank. I've perfected this over years of backyard cookouts, and I love how forgiving it is. The homemade rub and sauce transform an inexpensive cut of meat into something absolutely incredible. Plus, the long slow cook means the pork practically falls apart on its own, making assembly effortless. Brown sugar, one of our key ingredients, contains minerals like potassium and magnesium that your body actually needs. Once you try this combination of spices and that deep, smoky sauce, you'll be making it again and again.
