Ingredients
- Pork butt–I prefer bone out but you can for sure cook with the bone it. If you are cooking with the bone in I would cook the pork a little longer-10 more minutes. The cooking time changes when the bone is in because it impacts the meat distribution. I get my pork butt from Butcher Box. They send me a monthly shipment of all of my favorite meats and seafood.

- Honey mustard-I like the Whole Foods 365 brand, but any brand will work! Be sure to check the ingredients on the label.
- Paprika-To give the pork a nice kick. This is optional.
- Bone broth-Liquid is essential when cooking with the instant pot.

Expert Tips
- Tip # 1: If you get a bone in pork butt your cook time will need to be longer.
- Tip # 2: The internal cooking temperature of pork should be 145 degrees F. I would check the temperature of the pork with a meat thermometer before shredding.
- Tip # 3: If you can’t find honey mustard in your store, you can mix dijon mustard and honey to get the same flavor.
