This slow cooker pork recipe will help you save time cooking with two meals in one.  Have you ever heard the term cook once eat twice?  Do you ever get tired of eating the same old leftovers?  This slow cooker pork recipe is cooked once and then prepared to make two completely different meals when it is time to eat.  This way you have more of a chance of eating up those leftovers and saving yourself more of your hard-earned money!

 

We used our 8 qt. Instant Pot to slow cook this meal.

We also use a digital cooking thermometer like this.  If you have any question about what temperature something should be cooked at or reheated at you can check out FoodSafety.gov.

 

For this meal, we used Frontera’s Garlic Pork Carnitas Slow Cook Sauce for flavoring.  We love the different Frontera liquid seasoning packs.  Fair warning though this one is a little on the spicy side.

 

This recipe is enough to feed a family of four, two completely different meals.

 

The beauty of cook once eat twice is that you only have to cook this meal once.

For meal #1 you prepare your rice on the side.  You will have pork, rice and gravy and your potatoes and carrots that slow-cooked alongside your pork chops soaking up all that flavor!

For meal #2 you shred your leftover pork chops and let them soak up the gravy.  When ready reheat and place in a warm tortilla with shredded lettuce, cheese and any other taco dressing of your choosing!
