Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boneless pork shoulder, cut into chunks (carnitas meat)
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced onion flakes (or fresh onion)
  • 1 teaspoon minced dried garlic
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons beef bouillon

Instructions

  1. Mix all seasonings together in small bowl (except Salsa Verde).
  2. Mix Beef Boulion with water and pour in crock pot first.
  3. Rub meat with seasoning, place in crock pot, (for best results, I rub meat with seasoning the night before, let it sit in refrig to marinate).
  4. Cover and set on 6-8 hours. (Usually cooked within 6 hours).
  5. one hour before serving, drain pork drippings out leaving about 1/2 cup with meat. Pour Salsa Verde on top and stir to break up meat. Continue to cook. Just before serving I add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up. (1 tblsp cornstarch, 1 tbls water).
  6. Serve with Spanish rice (Recipe #282467)and beans and enjoy!
