Easy La Victoria Chile Verde
I love Chile Verde, and I've been impressed by this, the easiest and tastiest recipe I've found. Yes, it cheats a bit by using sauce from a jar (hmmph, you might say!), but sometimes you can achieve really good results from shortcuts. :) This is the recipe I use most often for Chile Verde. Delicious and folks ask for the recipe.

Take any Pork roast. Add one can of beer, one bottle of salsa
any kind . Cook in slow cooker for 8 to 10 hrs. on low. Can't bet it.

Sounds good to me. Thanks :XD:

Dglvr: Our family favorite pork roast is:

1 Pork Roast - I use boneless Pork Loin (on sale this week at Safeway stores for $1.99 pound.)

1 Can Cranberry sauce-we like the jellied cranberries but
whole berry sauce is good, too.

1 Envelope Lipton Dry Onion Soup Mix

Spray the crock pot with PAM spray and put the pork roast in the pot. Pour the onion soup mix over the meat and chop up the cranberry sauce into smallish pieces and put over the meat and soup. Put lid on the crockpot and cook on high for 1 hour and on low for about 4 hours.

Serve the sauce in the bottom of the pot in a gravy boat at the table. Even if you don't like cranberries, you'll love them on this roast. This is such a good recipe and I've made it hundreds of times. Leftovers make great PULLED pork sandwiches on a hamburger or Hoagie bun. Delicious!

One of our favorite ways to have Pork Roast in the crockpot is with Sauerkraut.
Put Roast in crockpot, add one diced onion, 1/2 C water and a bag of refrigerated Sauerkraut. Cook 6 to 8 hours.
Serve with mashed potatoes.
Kraut makes the pork tender, the pork mellows the kraut flavor. mmmmm. good!!
