The pork shoulder roast, sometimes labeled as Boston butt, is a rich and flavorful cut that becomes very tender as it cooks. This pulled pork is slow cooked and then simmered on the stove with salsa and tomatoes. Serve with warm tortillas or hard taco shells. Another perfect quick and easy recipe for a slow cooker. ENJOY!
Instructions
1. PLACE the pork roast into an oven roasting bag and set inside a slow cooker. Sprinkle the chili powder over the roast and arrange onions on top of the roast. Loosely close the top of the bag with a nylon tie.
2. USE scissors to cut 3 vents, 1-inch long in the top of the bag. Pour water into the bottom of the slow cooker, around the bag, so that it's at least 1 inch deep. Cover and cook the pork on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
3. REMOVE the pork and onions from the bag and place in a large DUTCH oven (reserve 3/4 cup of liquid from the bag.)
4. SHRED the pork by pulling it apart using two forks.
5. STIR the salsa, tomatoes, and cooking liquid in with the shredded pork.
6. BRING to boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and Simmer for 1 hour, Stirring occasionally.
