I made this with a Bone in Pork Butt instead of a Boneless Pork Shoulder. The bone part was because that was all I could find. The butt part was because I switched out the package I had to get one a little smaller and accidentally picked up a butt (that's an odd sentence to type).
The bone ended up being no problem at all. I simple removed it when I pulled the pork out to shred.
The butt, I believe, ended up having a little more fat that had to be trimmed off in the beginning and also during the shredding process.
The flavor of this pulled pork was delicious! We served it over brown rice. It made 2 meals plus a little extra for our family of 2 adults and 3 little ones. All of the kids (ages 3 1/2, 2 1/2 & 1) loved it!

This Week's Menu:
Monday: Nothing fancy here today since we went out as a family on Saturday and Tim will be at a seminar all day. Leftover Papa Murphy's Pizza
Wednesday: Crock Pot Black Beans & Rice ~ no recipe really, just 2 cans black beans (rinsed), brown rice + enough chicken stock to cook rice, 1 can diced tomatoes, minced garlic and spices. So easy, but our family really likes it.
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Broiled Tilapia with pasta and Parmesan sauce (didn't get to this last week)
Saturday: Pancakes, Cheesy Scrambled Eggs & Bacon
Sunday: Grilled Steak Fajitas (Tim is longing to fire up the grill!)

the crockpot recipe does sound great. looks like a good week.
ReplyDeleteI've always used a Boston Butt roast to make my traditional Christmas BBQ. It works great! My Aunt Sis was a Home Ec teacher and that's all she ever used (it's her recipe that's been passed down).
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to grill either!! SO happy it is getting a bit warmer out!!
ReplyDeleteHubby grilled last night - 6 steaks (we had company over) but I think we were left with 4 and 1/2 steaks. We're having steak fajitas this week too.
ReplyDeleteI accidently bought a bone in pork butt last month and used it in my BBQ pork recipe it turned out amazing. Not sure if it was the different cut of meat or if my slow cooker skills are improving. LOL
Have a great week!
