Stewed pork

I had some people over for New Year’s festivities last night.  For food, I opted for something easy on me to prepare, but tasty for my guests.  I made stewed pork, which served as the main ingredient for some delicious tacos.  You really couldn’t ask for anything easier, and the results are fantastic.

I bought a three pound pork roast, cut it in thirds and put it in my slow cooker.  To this, I added two packets of taco seasoning and filled the pot half full with water.  I cooked the roast on high for about four hours, long enough for the meat to easily shred with a pair of tongs.  Served up in warm corn tortillas (double them up because the meat is juicy, even when you try to squeeze the juice out a bit) with cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa and chopped romaine lettuce.   Super easy, but everyone went nuts over them.  The meat is tender, delicious, and nearly melts in your mouth.

Usually when I make this, I use a roast half that size and only use one packet of taco seasoning, and obviously a bit less water.  With slow cookers, you want to use less water than you would when cooking on the stove, as water does not evaporate out of the pot.  When doing this, I usually just put enough water to halfway cover the meat, and stir things around about halfway through.

You could probably do this just as well with a beef roast, or even an equivalent amount of chicken breast, but pork is my favorite meat, so I always use that.
