For a richer flavor, sear the pork butt in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of stone-ground mustard to your liking. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve the pulled pork on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as coleslaw, pickles, or barbecue sauce.
