Meat is a tricky thing to cook, especially pork.
We’ve all had a piece of pork that was just unbearably dry. It is so crispy that you have to dip into loads of sauce just to sort of compensating for the lack of moisture.😂 And I don’t mean that in a bad way, I’m just being completely honest. I’ve also been the creator of some really bad pieces of pork in my life. 😄
In today’s recipe we are going to solve that issue!
This pork is juicy and so delicious! It just falls right off the bone! 🙂

The Secret To The Perfect Pork Butt

Where do you find a pork butt?
If you’ve never made it before, you may not know where to find pork butt. I usually find it in the meat department of my local grocery store. If your grocery store doesn’t stock pork butt, you can defiantly find it at Sams or Costco.
On top of being incredibly delicious, this recipe so so practical! I can put my pork butt into the oven in the morning, do homework or work around the house, then in the evening, dinner is ready! Just like that, I have an amazing meal to serve my family with.
Also, the pork is so huge that I usually end up with a lot of leftovers. With those, I make pulled pork tacos that are just TO DIE FOR! And that way I have two nights of great dinners take care of.
When I have about an hour and a half left of baking, I peel and chop a few potatoes and carrots. Then I put those into the same pan as the pork, turn the heat up to 375, and bake until the veggies are soft.
Those work as a great side with the pork butt.
