Whenever my grandmother visits she makes this tender 4 ingredient dinner. It is so juicy and flavorful that the family scrapes the pot clean.

If you’d like a bit more savoriness without adding more ingredients, sear the pork chunks in a hot skillet for a few minutes per side before adding to the slow cooker; this step is optional but adds depth of flavor.

Food safety tips: Use fresh, refrigerated pork shoulder and keep it chilled until you’re ready to cook. Do not leave the pork sitting in the slow cooker insert at room temperature before turning it on; always start the slow cooker promptly. Cook the pork until it reaches at least 190°
