newmebithebypass replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Food and Nutrition

I've been experimenting with pork shoulder this past week and its turned out great both times. In the crock pot put in the meat frozen or thawed doesn't matter. Then 5 or 6 large carrots then 8 or 9 red skinned potatoes. 1 chopped red onion. A box of chicken broth or if your in a pinch a can of chicken noodle soup. A can of green beans. The seasoning I use are garlic sea salt adobo I ( its a Spanish type seasoning that you can find in the ethnic section of all grocery stores) dried basil and oregano
