9 Healthy Crockpot Recipes You Need to Try
When the weather outside is frightful, stay inside and serve up something delightful!
The colder months are the perfect time of year to put your slow cooker recipes to good use! Slow cookers (also known as "Crockpots") make homemade meals a cinch—simply fill them with your ingredients in the morning, and by the time you get home from work, dinner is ready to be served! We rounded up some of the best healthy, hearty, and delicious slow cooker recipes you've got to try.
Ingredients:
2 pouns boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch cubes
1 large onion, roughly chopped
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
2 chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce
Juice of 1 orange
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions:
Place pork cubes in the Crockpot along with the onions and pour the beer and orange juice over the top. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. Once cooked, remove pork from juices and set aside. Once the pork has cooled, shred it using a fork or your fingers. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the vegetable oil) to a blender, cover, and puree everything until it is well blended. In a large sauté pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
Once oil is hot, add the pork and sauté to crisp up some of the edges. Spoon or pour in as much of the sauce as you would like onto the pork. Continue to cook until sauce is heated through. Serve with corn tortillas, tomatoes, queso fresco, and guacamole.
