One of my goals with sharing recipes is to give you ideas. Some of my recipes are not gourmet, and are not meant to wow you. After all, I said I could never be a food blogger. But, they are meant to be practical, cheap, easy, and kid approved.
This one is so easy, I almost feel a little guilty even sharing it. But, if it makes it easier for you to survive another meal with picky kids and busy lives, then my work here is ALL worth it.
So, this recipe is one I just made up (although not to hard to) out of desperation one night for something quick and simple. We love chile verde/pork carnitas. Are they even the same thing? I’m not sure. But, I’m going with it. And, I’ve said before how much I love my crockpot. So this recipe was born out of necessity, and laziness. You’re welcome.
Slow Cooker Chile Verde Pork Carnitas
Ingredients:
- Pork Loin Roast
- Salsa Verde Sauce
- Tortillas
Optional Garnishes (that make it even better):
- Lime
- Monterey Jack Cheese
- Cilantro
Trim any obvious fat off of your pork. Put it in the crockpot on low. Pour a jar of chile verde sauce on top and let cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Serve in tortillas with desired toppings. The end.
See what I mean?
We then took this meat later and made nachos with the leftovers and it was super yum. Enjoy!!
I remember that food blogger post! But look at you now 😉 These photos are night and bright and so pretty! Sounds delish too! If you are interested, feel free to come and share your recipe at our The Yuck Stops Here link party! I think this would be a prefect addition!
yum! I love your easy, kid approved recipes!
Girl, you are MY kind of foodie blogger!! LOL I love this easy recipe and I am going to definitely try it! Anything that is EASY with FEW INGREDIENTS- I’M game! 🙂 So glad you shared it!
Ha! 🙂 Yes, this one is pretty simple. I have a few more in my recipe page too if you want to take a look.
Love this! You are *my* kind of food blogger: simple ingredients, kid-friendly, makes use of crockpot. Loved the pork and rice in the oven one, too! Keep it up.
I tried this, and it was so easy and delicious. I turned my crock pot on when I left for work in the morning, and then all I did when I got home was make some Spanish rice. I used leftover meat to make a burrito bowl to take with me to work the next day for lunch. Thanks for the great idea.
Yay! It really is SO easy. Glad you tried it and liked it. The meat is really good on nachos too. 🙂
Thank you! I need all the easy I can get! my family wants to eat every day, and I am not a master chef! Crockpot dumps are my favorite in the summer unless I can convince my husband to grill everything!
