Falling leaves and cooler temperatures means more meals made inside rather then outside these days. I’ve made this recipe now a few times and it is always delicious and easy to make.

Using the MyTime Slow Cooker I can adjust the cooking cycle based on when I want to eat and I really like that.

When I made this pork shoulder I started the crockpot at 10 pm for I wanted the meat finished cooking in the morning. Pork shoulder should be cooked 8-10 hours so it made sense to start it at night for me.

In the morning I shredded the pork and cooked it in the oven on high to get crispy brown edges. The pork carnitas can be used in tacos, burritos, carnita bowls , salads and more.

This slow cooker pork carnita recipe is an easy dinner your family will love. Using the crockpot makes meals so much easier, just throw a bunch of stuff in the pot, plug it in, schedule your meal and walk away. You come home to a house that smells divine!

You can shred the pork and eat it right out of the slow cooker but I love to add an extra step and cook it in the oven. You remove the pork shoulder, shred it and place 1/2 on a cookie sheet. Ladle a bit of the cooking liquid over the meat and cook it on a high heat to get the brown edges.

That’s my favorite part.

This is one fine meal and I can’t wait for you to try the recipe.

Here is the recipe.
