Ingredients

6-7 lbs pork shoulder or (about 6-7 pounds bone-in, 5-6 boneless) or pork butt
2 yellow onions peeled and sliced, thin
3-4 cloves garlic minced
2 Tbsps brown sugar honey or maple syrup
2 Tbsps salt
1 tsp black pepper ground
½ cup chicken stock vegetable stock or water

Instructions

Preparation

Season the pork with the salt, pepper, and brown sugar.
Place the pork in a large freezer bag. If the pork is too big, it’s ok to cut it up into 2-3 smaller pieces.
Pour the remaining ingredients into the bag.
Label and date the bag and place in the freezer until ready to use.

Cooking

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Shred the pork with 2 forks.
Serve and enjoy! Reserve the cooking liquid for storing any leftovers. It will help keep the pork moist.

Notes

Drizzle with BBQ sauce for pulled BBQ pork
Make pulled pork tacos with tortillas, diced tomatoes, and salsa
Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and serve with rice and roasted vegetables (fried plantains are also very tasty!)
