“Excited to try out this recipe next week. I am curious, do you not add any liquid to the crockpot? I have never cooked meat without some sort of liquid. Just don’t want it to burn/dry out. Thanks!” — a cook
“It turned out great! The flavor went well with our favorite bbq sauce and it cooked perfectly. I’m glad I didn’t add liquid because there was a ton from the fat. Thanks for the help and recipe!” — a cook
