I'm making this as we speak! The house smells great!

My other son just said my carnitas looked better than the one in the photograph. lol. He said I should post, "My carnitas look better than yours!" LOL

Awesome recipe! Very simple but very delish!

Well, I just moved this from my Try Soon page to my Favorites! This recipe is easy, turns out moist and tender, and the meat can be used in many different dishes.

Do you have to use a bone in roast or does it not matter?

Nice , good,and easy recipe.

it really was that easy- although i added some smoked papikra and red pepper- then i seared it on all sides before i put it in the slow cooker- it was moist and full of flavor! I have made it several times, and only once did it not turn out o.k.- i think something was wrong with the garlic salt, it was at my mother's house and she had a different brand and i seasoned it the same way i usually do, but it was waaay too salty- other than that this is fantastic. I always use a Bone-IN shoulder, i think that makes the pork juicier and more flavorful.

crockpot carnitas are easy, impossible to screw up, and taste great. easily one of my fav recipes i have found on big oven!

What a dish! I blackened up four big anaheim peppers and added them from the get go to the crockpot! I'm a spice fiend though, so maybe not for the faint of heart!

Easy, tasty and authentic. I cooked mine for the full 8 hours on low and the meat was juicy and tender. I used a spice rub rather than the garlic salt and it delicious. Thanks for a great recipe!

It might just be carnitas but boy did it turn out dry!
