I'm probably late to this party. But here's my favorite recipe to do a crock pot pork butt. I use it for a lot of different things.



About a 3-4 lb pork butt - bone in is fine or not
4-5 slices of bacon
5-6 large cloves of garlic, chopped
1 1/2 T. Black Hawaiian Lava Salt
2 T. Liquid Smoke

Cut the raw bacon pieces in half and line the bottom of the crock pot with them.

Chop the garlic and sprinkle over the bacon.

This is a very fatty cut of pork so you will have lots of good fat in the finished product. Or trim off as much fat as you prefer.

Poke holes in the pork butt and rub it well with the Black Hawaiian salt.

Place the pork butt fat side down (trim as much fat as you like, your preference) on top of the bacon and garlic.

Sprinkle the Liquid Smoke over the pork butt.

Do not add any other liquid to the pot. Â*You want the pork to roast in the crock pot, not braise. Â* It puts out enough of it's own juices.

I cooked mine 10 hours on low because that's how long I was out of the house at work, etc.

You can vary your cooking time and cook in the crockpot on either hi or low depending on how much time you have. Â*Probably start out on hi and go to low after 4 hours. Â*You want it to be fall apart tender.

Pull the pork apart and stir around in the crock pot to mix all the juices and bacon and garlic around in the pork.

This pulled pork can be used in a myriad of ways€¦

I like to serve it initially with cole slaw and potato salad like a good ol pulled pork dinner.
Then I use it for carnitas or tacos or burritos etc.
You can mix the pulled pork with bbq sauce and serve as pulled pork sandwiches, etc.
