thanks for the information
This is the best slow cooker pork I think I’ve ever made!! Wonderful recipe!
What type of pork roast is this?
Pork should or pork butt will work great.
I just tried this recipe last night and it was a hit with the family. I think the meat and toppings would be great over lettuce or even in a rice bowl.
