Pork Hunks In The Crockpot

Tweet

Whenever I buy whole, sliced pork butt, usually when it is on sale for somewhere around $1.49 per pound, I always get what I tend to call "oddball hunks" on either end. The middle section is fine for "steaks," but the ends are just big hunks of meat not really suitable for much practically. I could cut them up into chunks for stir fry, stew, or soup. But they're pretty fatty ends. So, usually I just eventually put those into the crockpot and cook them that way. For this batch I just kept it simple. Set the pork butt hunks into the crock and drizzled some barbecue sauce on them. Then I seasoned them with a spice mixture I made a bunch of the last time I smoked a brisket. Opened a packet of onion soup mix and tossed that in there. Then I poured on heavy with some more barbecue sauce. It has begun to cook as we speak, and should be fork tender, and something like pulled pork when all is said and done. I probably will not shred it, though. Just going to eat it the way it is with some sides I have not decided on yet. What's going on your dinner table tonight?
