5 simple ingredients (and most of them pantry staples) are all you need to create mouthwateringly-good pork butt. A slow cooker makes this roast easy to prepare—just a few simple steps and then the cooker does the work for you. Pro tip: When meat is done cooking, add BBQ sauce, mustard, honey, and soy sauce and cook for 1 hour longer on low. Serve on hamburger buns with a side of coleslaw and baked beans for the ultimate barbecue sandwich.

I really don't appreciate that the "add BBQ sauce, mustard, honey and soy sauce" aspect of the recipe does not mention the quanity of each ingredient. Very vague.

This is a great SIMPLE recipe which gives you what is essentially pulled pork, to which you can add a vinegary or tomato-based BBQ sauce, or go Asian with soy and wine vinegar and green onions--the possibilities are endless. Keep some frozen in a flattened bag for quick-thaw emergency meals.
