Easy Slow Cooker Mexi Style Pulled Pork

I love a good stuffed baked potato, do you?  I love them especially during the winter.  These are somewhat of a comfort food to me, I can load them up with my favorite toppings and they are warm and filling.

While we were in the process of moving, I bought a huge Pork Roast, a 15 pounder!  My intent was to fix it in the slow cooker while everyone was helping us move in to feed them however, I never got around to it.  So, this past week I decided to pull out that baby and pop it in the slow cooker.  Have you ever tried to fit a 15 lb roast into a 5 quart slow cooker?  Yeah, me either.  I ended up having to maneuver it a bit and cut it down so that it would fit properly.  Luckily, it eventually fit and we ended up with one of the juiciest roast I have ever tasted.

I was also thrilled that I now have my freezer packed with the meat from it so that I can reuse it for more recipes.

For this roast, I wanted to do something a bit different than my typical BBQ Pork Roast, so I decided to add a little mexi twist with Rotel, Taco Seasoning, and Taco Sauce.

The result?

Delicious, of course!

Now, to top it off, I made corn salsa to garnish the potatoes with.  It gave it another added element of flare to knock these potatoes to the next level.

By the time I ate that HUGE potato…I wanted another one.  I won’t lie, I was really wishing I wasn’t done yet and could have seconds, only my diet says otherwise.  Lucky for me, we had leftovers so I got to enjoy this beauty a few times.

I’m going to share the recipe using a 5 – 10 lb Pork Roast, since I cut ours down a bit; however, it’s very simple to adjust the ingredients depending on the size you use or you can just use the same amount and it will still work well.

Enjoy!
