Crock Pot Kahlua Pig

I went to Hawaii with my mom years ago and fell in love with the luau food there!! Since then, Del and I have contemplated having a Hawaiian-style reception when we have our wedding. This recipe was to try out that idea and we have since decided we are DEFINITELY going Hawaiian!! This is another set-it and forget-it crock pot recipe. It is great served with any fragrant cauliflower rice!

4-6 lb. pork shoulder "butt" roast (this size will depend on how big your Crock Pot is)- adjust the other ingredients depending on size of your roast
2 tbsps. coarse grind kosher or sea salt
2 tbsps. liquid smoke flavoring

Score the roast with a knife on all sides (in other words, cut across roast one way and then make diagonal cuts- so it looks like a tick-tack-toe board on your roast) or just pierce roast all over with fork. Rub roast with course salt, place in crock pot and pour liquid smoke over top roast. Put the lid on and cook 8-9 hours on high (or on low about 16 hours). Drain all but 2 cups of liquid from crock pot. Using 2 forks, shred pork roast and mix with remaining liquid. Serve with cauliflower rice. That's it- a Hawaiian luau in your own kitchen!! Enjoy!
