Before we start, many of you have asked me what the best slow cooker you should get is.  It varies for every family, but I tell you all about it here:  Best Slow Cooker Choices.

My husband Ryan and I tend to steer clear of a lot of recipes that call for pork chops, pork roast or pork shoulder.  But, as I’ve been getting a little more daring these days using these crockpot meals, I’ve found some good ones!  This – Slow Cooker Shredded Pork Soft Tacos Meal – falls into the “good one” category!

My husband had a stressful day at work today and he went to sit down and eat his food.  It’s not long before I hear him call in to the kitchen, “This meat has amazing flavor!”  Can you hear that sigh of relief?  I fed him pork AND he likes the flavor.  Whoohoo!  Let me do a little happy dance.  🙂

It is a bit spicy, but not overwhelmingly so.  My 4 year old bravely ate half of hers, but then decided it was too spicy hot.  I kept some refried beans on hand so that I could make her a bean and cheese burrito just in case.  No other kids complained  about the spice and everyone raved about this recipe!

Simple and delicious – this slow cooker shredded pork soft taco meal can easily be prepared for the freezer as well. Be sure to make adjustments to suite your families tastes with the chili powder and peppers – and you are sure to hit a home run with this recipe.

Freezer to Slow Cooker Directions:

  1. Be sure you bought meat that is raw, not yet frozen.  If you discover yours is frozen already, just be sure to keep it seperate from the rest of the bag ingredients below so that you can rub it once it’s thawed on cooking day.
  2. Rub meat with chili powder, salt and pepper and place in gallon size freezer bag.
  3. Chop 1 large onion
  4. Chop 3-4 chipotle peppers from the can.
  5. Mix chopped chipotle peppers, 1-2 T. of adobo sauce (from same can) and 1 cup of root bear.  [you can use the whole can, but you may want to add more root beer if you do]

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
