Want a delicious smell that is sure to be a crowd pleaser? Try this recipe from one of our customers. They're called plow boys and it is a take on pulled pork over baked potatoes.

My toddler (as most are) is a picky eater and she was so excited by this. She got to pick her own toppings and who doesn't love potatoes? Meanwhile my husband enjoyed the delicious smells coming out of the Dutch oven as the pork cooked. *drool*.

This was such a simple recipe that could be done "quickly". I put "quickly" in quotes because it does take some time to cook, but the prep work is minimal.

Better yet you can put your own twist on how you like to cook the pork butt as you can't really go wrong. I followed Tessa's suggestion in her recipe, and it was delicious. It's a great recipe that can be adjusted for just a few people to a large crowd.

Here is a note from Tessa Lautzenheiser who submitted the recipe to Lehman's:

"We are a farm family from eastern Ohio, and this recipe is a favorite meal to bring to the field during harvest season. I bring along different toppings and everyone can customize how they want. It's easily scaled up or down to feed any number of people and is a simple but hearty one dish meal. I hope you enjoy!"
