3- Ingredient Slow Cooker Cheater Pork Carnitas are so easy they just about cook themselves. The most simple recipe yields the most fabulous results. Just toss it in the crockpot and go! Come back hours later to perfectly tender and juicy pork that is mouthwateringly delicious and perfect on everything.
INGREDIENTS
- 5 pound pork shoulder
- 1 ( 16 ounce) jar good green chile salsa
- 1 medium onion, diced
- optional: salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place pork in the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle onion over top and pour salsa over top.
- Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. Once cooked through, use 2 forks or meat claws to shred pork. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mine usually needs just a pinch. Stir, cover and allow to cook for 30 minutes longer so the pork can absorb all those yummy juices.
- Serve and enjoy!
NOTES
- Make sure you are using a flavorful salsa. I prefer the 505 Southwestern Hatch Valley Green Chile Salsa with Tomatillos, Garlic & Lime.
