Ah, the slow cooker. The most quintessential kitchen gizmo; something that just truly makes life better.

We all know its a godsend during the work week-- a few extra minutes in the morning and your have a piping hot, delicious feast when you get home at night. Sometimes, though, I prefer the slow cooker on the weekends; when prep can be a leisurely experience and cooking is done while errands are run. One of my most favorite things to do is wake up on a Saturday before Matty, sneak off to the grocery store, procure some fresh meat, some cured meat, and some produce, stop off for some coffees, and wake him up with a PS Special, bacon in the frying pan, and snacks for later, braising in the crockpot.
I did just that a few weeks ago with the following recipe. Heavy on pork shoulder and potatoes, this is a super-cheap (and delicious) way to feed a crowd. This could be a superb addition to your Superbowl spread.
