Slow Cooker Carnitas (3-Ingredient Pork Recipe) + Video

pork shoulder

green salsa

salt (to taste)

black pepper (to taste)

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.

I love to use boneless for this recipe, It makes everything easier. This was so good, and I can't wait to make more!
