Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas

This post was updated on 9/20/2024.

Pork carnitas are one of my favorite slow cooker recipes. You will find fewer recipes that have a simpler prep with the end result being more delicious than you can imagine. The pork is so flavorful and stays nice and tender from being cooked low and slow and then gets finished by broiling the meat in the oven after it’s been shredded to create crispy edges on the meat that are irresistible. These slow cooker pork carnitas will quickly become one of your favorite weeknight dinners.
