Easy Mexican pork and hominy stew, with a red broth made of a blend of chiles. This slow cooker pork pozole recipe is super easy to make!
A Classic Recipe for Slow Cooker Pork Pozole!
Hey cousins! I’ve been craving some good old-fashioned pozole. I usually only make pozole once a year (for Christmas), but my hunger got the best of me, so I decided to break out my Crock Pot, and make my slow cooker pork pozole!
My recipe for pork pozole is on the easier side. I use pork shoulder, pig feet, hominy, spices, and a variety of chile pods. Unlike the traditional cooking method (which would be cooking this on the stovetop), I prefer to make my pozole in the slow cooker. Making my pork pozole in the Crock-Pot prevents me from having to babysit the pot. While my pozole cooks, I usually tend to other duties around the house or prepare my side dishes.
Speaking of side dishes, here are a few things that I like to serve along with my easy slow cooker pork pozole:
- Potato Tacos
- Tex Mex Beef Skillet w/ corn tortillas
- Birria Quesadillas
- Lengua Tacos
Again, my recipe calls for pig feet. I am aware that some people aren’t fans of that. Therefore you can replace the pig feet with neck bones or add more pork shoulder!
