On our recent trip to Texas, we tried to cook up some regional dishes in our Camper Kitchen in lieu of eating out a lot. There was something really fun about shopping for ingredients where we were and attempting to cook up something somewhat similar to what we might find in a local restaurant. Cooking while traveling also helped us eat low carb while away from home.

As it turns out, this Crock Pot Pork Chile Verde is our FAVORITE thing we made while in Texas. It is so flavorful and filling. The pork is so tender. The Anaheim Chile Peppers added just enough heat but it is easily cut by the sour cream and not too much for spicy wimps like me! Ha!

Notes on Crock Pot Pork Chile Verde

• This recipe was inspired by (but a bit different from) one we found in Easy Low-Carb Slow Cooking.
• We like using our non-stick multi-cookers to make for easy clean up. We’ve made this in our Gem Multi-Cooker and our Ninja Auto-iQ.
• As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
