Notes
Pork roast - I usually use a butt or a shoulder roast because I like how tender the marbling makes the pork. You can use a pork loin if you'd like.
I don't typically bother browning a roast that I'm using for pulled pork.
Use the pulled pork for tacos, quesadillas, casseroles, whatever!
It freezes well, just portion it to the sizes you'd like and store in a ziplock bag, a vacuum sealed bag is great t
