I’m all for low and slow cooking. Set it and forget it if you will. Now that it’s finally fall (happy dance) I’m doing a lot more of that type of cooking. I’m excited to share with y’all that I’ve partnered with Crock-Pot® Slow Cookers to bring you a few recipes using their new Crock-Pot® Smart Slow Cooker WeMo Enabled.

What does that mean? It means that it works with your smart device (Android and Apple) to let you easily adjust cook settings … from virtually anywhere. Pretty smart, right? Right!

Crock-Pot Slow Cooker Carnitas

These carnitas are a snap to pull together using a Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker. They’re big, bold and flavorful and there’s always enough for leftovers (well that is unless you’re feeding a whole cul-de-sac at a time and then no leftovers for you). We like to turn those leftovers into a nice plate of Carnita Nachos! Options. You know we like them.

Stay tuned, we’ll be bringing you a new Crock-Pot®  Slow Cooker recipe next month. We’re thinking about a Balsamic, Dijon Pot Roast with Mushrooms and Carrots! Hungry?

    Holy cow, that is pretty cool. Just add it to my must have kitchen items list. The carnitas are a darn beauty too!

    This is one recipe I’m saving. Carnitas are my absolute favorite and I always buy them at Costco rather than make them myself, but that’s going to change.
