Slow Cooker Pork Shoulder





Looking for an AMAZING slow cooker dinner idea?   I feel like I get caught up in the idea that a slow cooker means a chili, soup or stew.  This is not the case at all!  We made a dry rub for a 5 pound pork shoulder. Pork is tastier than chicken, and leaner than beef.  So, why not?  I don't know why I don't cook pork more often.   There is some chili powder and cayenne in here, so if spice is not your thing, I would say leave out the cayenne.
