Ready for another super easy crock-pot recipe? Shredded pork recipe makes delicious tacos, burritos, or pulled pork sandwiches. This recipe is out of my Fix-It and Forget-it cookbook by Phyllis Pellman Good. I tend to make this dish quite often, and it usually lasts throughout the week.
Ingredients
- 3-4-lb. pork butt roast
- 1-1/2 envelopes taco seasoning
- 3-5 cloves garlic, sliced, according to your taste preference
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 4-oz. can whole green chilies, drained
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Place roast in slow cooker.
- In a bowl, mix all remaining ingredients together. Spoon over meat in cooker.
- Cover and cook on Low 8-10 hours, or on high 4-6 hours, or until meat is tender but not dry.
- Place pork on a platter and shred with 2 forks. Stir shredded meat back into sauce.
- Serve in tortillas, topped with shredded lettuce, tomato, and sour cream, or over steamed rice.
