Keto Slow Cooker Kalua Pig

This is a quick and easy pork butt recipe for those of you who own and love your slow cooker. 

Over the years, I’ve found the magic of having a slow cooker by myself – the meat gets extra tender while keeping all those delicious flavors locked in. For me, another big plus of using a slow cooker is, I’m not gonna lie, the extra-time I get for myself while dinner is cooking… by itself. 

For this Kalua Pork, you’ll need one special ingredient: liquid smoke. This is a simple way to enjoy smokey flavorful pork without any hard-to-find ingredients.

If you have access to special ingredients like black lava sea salt, then go for it, but you don’t need it to recreate delicious Kalua pork at home.

The trick is to keep the pork intact, so don’t chop it up or pull it apart until you’re ready to eat it. Then shred it with your fork and enjoy with some delightful side dishes.

What to serve your Kalua pork?  There are so many ways to enjoy this… from a simple guacamole to a crunchy Keto Coleslaw.
