Dinner!

Someone made us the most delicious pulled pork tacos for a bringing new baby home meal. The best part about it is the recipe which is sooo easy!!! I never use my slow cooker b/c the first few attempts were disastrous, but I pulled it back out to try this recipe and it worked like a charm.

Ingredients (only 2!!!)
Pork tenderloin
(not pork loin, that is a different cut of meat.
I think you could also use pork shoulder that is a fattier and less expensive type of meat)
One jar of Green Chili Stew Two - Step Mix by Cookwell & Company
(pictured below, this is from HEB at the cooking connection stand)

Directions:
Dump pork tenderloins into slow cooker.
Pour half a jar of the green chili stew mix over them.
Turn on slow cooker to low and let it cook for 6 hours or so.
Shred the meat with some forks and serve in tortillas with avocado, cheese, sour cream, lettuce.
Enjoy!

*I added a little bit of water (1/2 cup) to the meat after a few hours because the sauce was getting dry...
**This jar costs $8 but you could save the other half for another recipe by freezing...





If you are interested in another recipe, I just tried Melissa D Arabian's lasangna from food network. Lots more ingredients, but very yummy!

Spaghetti sauce in the crock pot works wonders too! I toss everything in and stick in the frig the night before. Then I stick it in on low before I leave for work. It's perfect when I get home.
