The Pioneer Woman's Spicy DP Shredded Pork

We're still in the middle of some kitchen updates around here, so I haven't been cooking as much as I normally do. After two weeks of microwave meals, hodge podge leftovers and eating out, I'd had enough. Plus I wanted to use some of the bulk items in our freezer, so I decided to try a new crock pot meal.

Here is the link to The Pioneer Woman's post for this recipe. There's no competing with her pictures or writing style, so why try? :)

Here's what I actually did:

Quarter an onion and lay in the bottom of your crock pot. Take a 3 lb roast, season as you wish, and place on the onion. Pour in a small can of chilies in adobo sauce and a 12 oz Dr. Pepper. Cook on high for 6 hours.

Serve in tortillas with salad and chips.


Here's my thoughts on this recipe:

#1. It smells DELICIOUS when cooking. Seriously. I would make it every day just to make my house smell that good.
#2. It tastes JUST AS GOOD AS IT SMELLS.
#3. IT IS SO SPICY. OW CHI MAMA BURN YOUR TONGUE, MOUTH, LIPS AND ANYTHING IN THE NEAR VICINITY.

Seriously people. I used a full, small can of the chilies and it was overwhelmingly hot. Cody and I both had to put bbq sauce on our wraps to try to calm them down, and then we still had to eat a little bite of frozen yogurt after we were finished.

Hands down, I would encourage you to make this recipe because it is easy and delicious. BUT, if you have a small roast that you're using, you definitely want to cut the amount of chilies in half.

Try it out,  you'll definitely be glad you did!
