February 28, 2016 by Madison Wetherill 2 Comments

I’ve always had a love for Mexican food. It’s seriously like soul food to me; the kind of food that is beyond just comfort food, it’s the kind of food that actually warms your soul. I have been known to eat Mexican food multiple days in a row, without shame. The best part, though, has been learning to make it at home. Mexican food is actually really easy to replicate at home, whether it’s a traditional recipe passed down from generation to generation, or just a recipe you’re trying to replicate from a restaurant at home.

This Slow Cooker Posole Verde is a bit of both. I grew up in New Mexico, where posole is a huge traditional family meal. Typically though, red chile pork posole is the traditional New Mexican style posole. I’m not a huge fan of red chile, so I decided to make my own version.

The best part of this meal isn’t the flavor, it isn’t the fact that it looks drool worthy. It’s the fact that it only takes one pot. Slow cooker meals are the best, especially when you have a busy family on your hands or your life is just busy and you don’t have time to stand over the stove. With a four month old, I need all the time I can get. So slow cooker meals are a must around here!

      Just a standard 15.5 oz (or similar) can is good. You can drain it if you'd like or leave the juices in for added flavor. Up to you! Enjoy!
