Psssst....Want to know a secret?

Can I give you a little tip? Good food REALLY can be simple. Here's my NO fail dinner, great for those anticipated lazy days of summer:

1 large pork shoulder (might be packaged as pork butt. I didn't name it!)
1 large bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce
1 onion sliced thin

That's it. Put the pork in the crock pot on low. I like to put mine in with the fat side up so that the juices run down the meat as it's cooking. It also makes it SUPER easy to skim off before you shred later. Cover that pork with the sauce and sliced onion, put the lid on, and don't TOUCH it for at least 15 hours. When you're ready, skim that layer of fat off the top, find the two or three large bones that will probably be completely free of the tender meat, and toss them.


Isn't it beautiful?

I like to shred my meat, drain off some of the juice, and put it back in the crock pot for another hour with another bottle of BBQ sauce. I have also put it on a sheet of foil, and popped it on the grill with some mesquite chips in the smoker box. There really is no wrong way to serve this easy barbecue!

One pork shoulder will yield 12-15 servings, so if you're making it for your family, it's a great way to knock out 2 or even 3 meals at once!  BONUS!  :-)
