Kalua pork and rice bowles


This was super good!
This is seriously one of the EASIEST recipes to make and it tastes AMAZING!

1 (2-4 lb) pork shoulder/butt roast (they are the same thing, even though it seems like they would be totally different body parts! Ha ha! It's usually an inexpensive cut of meat because it is tough and fatty. I always try to trim the fat off as much as I can)
1 Tablespoon sea salt
1 Tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring

1. Pierce pork all over with a carving fork. Rub salt then liquid smoke over meat. Place roast in a slow cooker.
2. Cover, cook on LOW for 10-12 hours (don't over cook- I just cooked one yesterday and I did it for 4 hours on high and 4.5 hours on low and it turned out perfect). Turn once during cooking time.
3. Remove meat from slow cooker and shread, adding drippings as needed to moisten.

We then serve it over rice (either brown or white) and put meat on top. We then put chopped green peppers, tomatoes, onions, olives, banana peppers, cucumbers, and cheese on top- you really could do any kind of veggies on top that you like! Jared likes to eat it just like this, but I always like to add just a tiny bit of sauce, like Hawaiian BBQ sauce or teriyaki sauce. Super easy and super good!
