Yummy Pork Shoulder in a Slow Cooker!

Simple Process, Simple ingredients.  


This is a perfect way to feed your family when schedules are all consumed with the end of school, Graduations, and Debutante Balls.  


Or you are just plain bored with your cooking and need to mix it up a bit!

Marinate over night, rub the pork with:


Brown sugar, ground coffee beans, salt and pepper, cumin, chili, tumeric.  

Simply raid your spice cabinet for your favorite flavors.

I prefer the All-Clad Slow Cooker.  You can take the insert and actually use it to sear your meat stove top before you add all your ingredients.  Less pans to clean.

Brown the meat on all sides with garlic and olive oil.  Add two slices of bacon just for fun and flavor.  Once the meat is browned add:

2 beers
2 root beers or coca cola, enough liquid to cover the meat.
Drizzle with Maple Syrup

Add any vegetables in your refrigerator.

Turn your slow cooker on Low for 8 to 10 hours. When you come home from a long day, it is ready to eat and your house smells yummy!

Strip the fat away and shred this lean and flavorful pork and lay on a cookie sheet,  put in a 300 degree oven for 20 minutes if you like the meat crispy.

Meanwhile warm the tortillas and place all your taco serving out so people can build their own.  This night, I served them with a delicious Mango Salsa from Trader Joe's.

Blend up a delicious Skinny Margarita!
