The Lady and Son's Smoked Boston Butt Roast Recipe (Brooke’s Version)

Here is my take on this delicious dish.

1 (5-pound) pork butt roast
4 tablespoons House Seasoning, recipe follows
4 tablespoons liquid smoke
Barbeque sauce of choice, for serving

Sprinkle 1 side of the roast with 2 tablespoons of the House Seasoning, making sure to rub well. Flip the roast over and rub the remaining 2 tablespoons of House Seasoning. Repeat the process with liquid smoke. Place the roast in a crock pot on low before you go to bed the night before. I placed it in the crock pot at midnight. Turn the roast over in the morning and pull it out when you’re ready to have dinner.

House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Because I cook my roast in the crock pot for so long it will not slice as shown in the picture.
