Boston Butt makes a great slow cooker meal.
There's nothing better after work than walking into a home that smells like food and knowing that dinner is ready and waiting for you. Pork roasts are easy to prepare in a slow cooker with all the "fixin's." A good choice of meat for a slow cooker pork dinner is what is known as a Boston Butt. Boston Butts are full of flavor and tender pork meat. You'll find that with a variety of sides cooked in with it, you'll have a family favorite that is easy to make!
Instructions
1. Place Boston Butt into your slow cooker and add one-half cup of water. Because slow cookers retain moisture and allow the condensation to build on the lid and drip back down onto the food, you shouldn't need more than that.
2. Wash and cut potatoes into halves. You can peel them if desired. Place potatoes around the pork and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Peel and slice carrots into one-inch lengths, and add them on top of the potatoes all around the pork. Or you may opt for the ready-to-use baby carrots from the grocery store that are already peeled and cut.
4. Slice a large onion and put it on top of the carrots, then add two peeled cloves of garlic. Top off the slow cooker meal with a can or bag of sauerkraut. Depending on how flavorful you want your meal to be, you can drain the sauerkraut or not. Sprinkle paprika over the meal and you're ready to "set it and forget it."
5. Place the lid on the slow cooker and set it to medium or the eight-hour setting. When you return, your whole house will smell good. Serve with sliced sourdough bread or French bread for a filling meal that the whole family will love.
