Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Pork

My slow cooker is my best friend in the kitchen! I adore it. It saves dinner at my home time and time again! I love the easy of throwing everything in, letting it cook all day, and having a yummy meal ready for you at dinner time.

Sometimes recipes are inspired by what we have on hand.  I had a jar of yummy Salsa Verde staring me in the face in my pantry. I knew just what I wanted to do with it.  I was so proud of this crock pot recipe!  It is completely delicious and the pork turns out to be so juicy and flavorful! It literally falls apart after its done cooking.  We LOVED this dinner!

    Totally making this! I am always looking for new ways to use the slow cooker. This sounds awesome in a taco or enchilada, or even nachos. OMG.

    Shoot! Believe it or not there is a pork roast in the slow cooker right now, with just boring old BBQ sauce. Wish I'd seen this yesterday! But it's going in the recipe queue, that's for sure.

    Looks delicious, and very doable for a new-to-cooking college student like me. I want to try it out but I have a really small one, I think 3quarts. Perhaps I should half or quarter the recipe. What size slow cooker do you cook this in?

    Has anyone tried this with chicken instead of pork? Wondering how it would be . . .

    1. Anna

      I was also wondering about substituting chicken. We're on a low cholesterol diet so I think I will just have to try it.

    I thought I made this dish up. One of the best things to do with this dish is to use it with eggs. I have some rectangular ramekens, about 2x5 in.. I take two eggs a splash of milk and mix. Spray the rameken with cooking spray layer in some pork, pour on the egg and bake at 350 for about 20 min. Then roll in a tortilla for a great breakfast burrito.
