I found a great deal on a huge pork shoulder butt roast. It was marked down to less than a dollar per pound! Since it was a 9 lb cut of meat, we cut about a third of it into pork steaks to make some yummy Pan Fried Pork Chops. That left us with a nice size roast that would fit in Mr. Big, my 4-quart Crock Pot, perfectly.
