Is it really as amazing as it sounds??
YES!!!! I give this recipe 5 stars!

So first, I didn't follow the recipe to a T --
I used a slow-cooker instead of the oven.
I did get "pork butt" but it came in the form of ribs and I only used 3 pounds instead of 5 because that was all that would fit in my slow-cooker.
After that, it was a piece of cake. I used half the can of peppers and omitted the brown sugar.
I served the shredded pork on small tortillas with fresh cilantro, black beans, tomatoes, and shredded cheese. They were not only delicious the first night, but they were great as leftovers!
