Slow-Cooked Boston Butt

Snowy days are made for slow-cooked meals that fill the house with warmth. Today, I prepped a Boston butt in the crockpot and paired it with buns I made yesterday — comfort food at its finest. This is the kind of supper that smells amazing while you finish homeschooling or cozy up with a book.


I serve this recipe with my homemade barbecue sauce – I have a reel on that on Instagram – check it out here and save that recipe for later! It’s the BEST!
