Carnitas

1 Pork Butt or Shoulder (it doesn't really matter which)
1 - 1 1/2 Cup Water
Garlic Salt to taste
Peppercorns to taste

Place pork in slow cooker, pour in water, add garlic salt and peppercorns - I just eyeball it.  Cook on low 8 - 10 hours or on high 4 -6 hours.  Shred the pork.  Serve on warm corn tortillas with radishes, tomatoes, lettuce, fresh lime, guacamole or avocado slices, sour cream and cheese.

Prep Time - 5 minutes
Cook Time - 8 - 10 hours

Pinto Beans and Rice

Pinto Beans and rice is always a cool weather favorite and inexpensive go-to.

2 Cups (or how much you need/want) dried pinto beans
soak in water overnight

Rinse and drain beans and pour into crock pot
Cover beans with water
add onion to taste
3-4 celery stalks
salt and pepper to taste
Cook beans on low 6-8 hours
Serve over rice

Jalepeno Cornbread is a nice side to this dish.

This will serve about 5 people with some left over for freezing. You can adjust the amount of beans to suit your specific needs.
