Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 12-15

Ingredients

One 8-pound pork butt roast
4 tablespoons The Lady’s House Seasoning
2 tablespoons The Lady’s Seasoned Salt
4 tablespoons liquid smoke
1 medium onion, sliced
1 cup water
3 bay leaves

Preparation

  1. Sprinkle one side of the roast with 2 tablespoons of the House Seasoning, rubbing well. Flip the roast over and sprinkle with the remaining House Seasoning, rubbing well. Repeat the process with the Seasoned Salt and the liquid smoke. Place the meat in a large roaster pan; add the onion, water, and bay leaves. Cover and cook at 350 degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until a meat thermometer registers 170 degrees. Let cool slightly for easier slicing. Serve with a good barbecue sauce. Leftovers make wonderful chopped barbecue sandwiches.
