My Crockpot Mojo Pork recipe, I can say with complete confidence, is the best way you can make a boston butt roast from now until eternity! Trust and believe that once you make this recipe you will be utterly shocked at what a handful of onions, lemon, and seasoning can do to a boston butt roast, slow cooked in a crockpot! My kids grew up eating this once a week and I always made sure to buy the biggest boston butt roast I could find because we would eat so much of it that it was hard to use it for leftovers the next day.

For night one you are going to serve this with white steamy hot rice, covered in the juices from the bottom of the pot, and topped with the mojo pork. And if and only if you have leftovers you will be lucky enough to make my kids second favorite meal: Pigs in a Potato! It’s really going to be difficult for you to choose which dinner you like the best, but you can’t make either of the dinners until you begin with this recipe blog; my incredibly easy and sinfully delicious Crockpot Mojo Pork. Are you ready to make your new favorite dinner? Let’s party!
