Everyone Talks About This Pork… for Days
|
Hi Reader, I have never regretted serving pork. 🏆 The Undisputed Winner 🏆I always feel a bit skeevy every time I post about this Oven-Roasted Pork Butt recipe.

In the past four years, it has been viewed more than 62 million times. 62 MILLION!!! (If I got just 1 penny for each of those views, I'd have $610,000!) If you could make just one pork recipe, I'd opt for this. My Pork Dinner Rules
