Uses for pork butt besides pulled pork?

GoooDawgs

I picked up some boneless pork butts this weekend at Costco.  Usually I can use some butchers twine and get a decent enough shape out of them, but 1 of the 2 was in at least 5 pieces and will just not stay together no matter what I do.   

I figure I could grind it and mix it with some chuck roast for meatloaf, but is there anything else you'd do with a pork butt that can't stay together? 

Thanks everyone,

Another vote for sausage. A grinder works of course, but so does a food processor if you don't have a grinder.

Rotisserie followed by thick slices is one way. Thick slices followed by grilling rocks too.

Cube it up and do pork butt burnt ends

Not a dumb question! Just a dumb cut and paste post by me! It should have read 8 pieces for a full recipe or 4 for a half reciepe!

Probably pretty pedestrian fare but we like to make burritos...with flour tortillas, pepper jack, pulled pork, black rice, spicy refried beans, and condiments such as pickled onion, and guac, lettuce, etc..

YMMV

I make a dish of tater tots, piled with pulled pork shredded cheese, diced smoked garlic, chopped roasted onion, and your favorite BBQ sauce....messy, but delicious.

make porchetta, it doesn't have to be one piece, this will work with whatever you have, the cannoli part is optional :

my favorite thing to do with it

thanks for the tips everyone.  I'll go with the burnt ends.   Usually I take the butt off at 170 to cube up, so I assume if the butt is already destroyed just cube it up raw and cook it like normal burnt ends?

Just did this (with a bone in) but can be done with the boneless from Costco.

I make enchiladas in batches and put them in the freezer for school night meals when things are busy.  Simplest thing.

Thank you for sharing this!  Must have just missed this before I joined the original forum.  Have you tried the Peach?  Perfect timing as I smoked a couple of butts this weekend...

We've used leftover pulled pork on baked potatoes. Great meal.
