FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Can I use boneless pork roast?
Yes! While bone-in shoulder roast adds extra flavor, boneless works great too. Just adjust cooking time slightly.
why put onions on the bottom?
The onions create a flavor base and keep the meat from sticking to the bottom of your slow cooker.
Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely! Potatoes and carrots work great – add them around the roast.

Keep lid closed during cooking
Let meat rest before shredding
