I made BBQ today using the slow cooker and man was it good!! All you need is wonderful spice rub, a nice Boston Butt, some lip smacking good BBQ sauce and a slow cooker. Slow cook it and then serve on a bun for a lip smackin' good sammie! Served with a side of "Loaded Smashed New Potatoes", it just couldn't get any better! Enjoy!! The Spice Rub is adapted from Cooks Illustrated. Photo's are mine.
