Hands down, one of my favorite Slow Cooker meals is these Slow Cooker Carnitas. For decades, I\u2019ve made Mexican Shredded Beef or Pork in the slow cooker (link & photo below), but carnitas? They\u2019re just something special.<\/p>\n

This is a recipe that both friends and family (everyone from the adults to the littles ones) have clamored for! And so, over the years, it\u2019s become one of my standbys.<\/p>\n

About Slow Cooker Carnitas:<\/h2>\n

And I don\u2019t mind a bit! With a handful of everyday ingredients and minutes of prep, you\u2019ll be rewarded with a veritable mountain of luscious pork shoulder, kissed with citrus and braised to perfection in your trusty slow cooker.<\/p>\n

What emerges is tender, juicy pork that just falls off the bone. It\u2019s practically begging to be shredded and crisped and used to your liking.<\/p>\n

But wait, there\u2019s more! While some of the flavorful juices left behind in the slow cooker are used for crisping the carnitas in a skillet, the rest are reduced into a rich, velvety sauce that\u2019s simply divine when drizzled over your serving.<\/p>\n
