Spice Up Your Life After finding a huge, eight-pound pork butt on sale a few weeks ago, our first inclination was for Joey to throw it on his smoker, as he normally would. Instead, we debated a bit back and forth about what kind of new recipe we could try, and it turned into what we deemed to be a “pork butt face off.” (Which doesn’t sound very nice, but when you’re creating a weird competition in your own kitchen, you can call it whatever you like.) We each chose a recipe, and we went to the grocery store to get our ingredients.

Ingredients 3 to 4 pounds pork butt roast 2 pounds large, whole mushrooms (I used baby bellas) Directions Add the pork butt to a crockpot, and place the mushrooms and onion on and around the meat. In a bowl or mixing cup, whisk the vegetable broth with the two gravy packets until it is well combined.
