Mexican pork

This couldn't be easier. Place a pork roast and a jar of salsa verde (the green stuff) in a crockpot. Cook on high for an hour, then lower to medium for eight hours. Serve with rice and beans.

You could probably cook on high for five or so hours, but since we knew we'd be gone all day, we decided to cook the meat on medium.

I read about this online somewhere (probably 2peas) and there was a pork roast on clearance at the groocery store so this was perfect. The meat and salsa cost about $9; I expect to get at least 8 large servings out of this (we each went back for seconds, hence the large comment), more if I make burritos or tacos or some other meal where a hunk of meat isn't the main event like it was tonight. If you made this the day before, you could take out all the fat that solidifies on top (which I'm planning on doing tomorrow).

P.S. Sorry for the lack of photos. I was too interested in eating my dinner, lol.


*Update* Since this posting, we've eaten two more meals, I froze enough meat for another 10 burritos, and we've still got a couple more servings in the fridge.
