Crockpot: BBQ Wild Pig Shoulder Baked Potatoes

By

This easy recipe makes a whole crockpot full of yummy BBQ meat that can be used for all kinds of dishes.  I LOVE stuffed baked potatoes and I load it with the bbq meat and lots of extra toppings!! One of these potatoes is a whole meal by itself! Great for taking to a picnic, Super Bowl party, or anytime you want.

I used a spice rub recipe adapted from Cheryl and Bill Jamison’s cookbook called Smoke and Spice, but you can use your favorite bbq rub.
