Mom's Amazing Slow Cooked Pork

So easy! Just a few ingredients but man o man is it good!!! Bless you Judi:)

4-5 lb pork roast (get cheapest cut, it won't matter!)
5 strips bacon
1 1/2 T Kosher salt
Lay bacon on bottom of your crock pot so sides overlap slightly. Rub the salt all over your pork roast.  Cook on low 16 , yes, SIXTEEN hours. Shred and serve with tacos, on a hoagie roll, on a salad, or whatever!! It's so so good. *TIP: after refrigeration, fat is solid on top so you can skim it off and make it more healthy.

A New Cornbread

This is a new recipe I tried because I didn't have any corn meal, just a ton of masa harina from making Perfect Chili! It's fluffy and moist, we loved it!
1 1/2 cups masa harina
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1-2 T sugar (2 if you like it with a hint of sweet)
1 1/3 cups milk
4 T butter
Heat oven to 425 and in a 8x8 baking dish or cast iron skillet melt 2 T butter in oven. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the other 2 T butter, melted to corn mixture. Add eggs and milk, stir till combined. When butter is bubbling in pan, pour batter into it and bake 20-25 minutes till top is golden. Serve hot with butter and honey or crumble in your bowl of chili!
