This is the type of recipe our readers go crazy over. Slow Cooker Carnitas are a dump-and-go crock pot meal that is easy, freezes well before or after cooking, and feeds an army. Give the tender, shredded meat at the end for that extra crisp!

These Crock Pot Baby Back Ribs are legit! You don’t need a smoker or to heat up your kitchen with the oven for hours. Your slow cooker and a few minutes under the broiler will do all the hard work for you, resulting in fall-off-the-bone, caramelized BBQ pork ribs.

Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Dry Rub

Just 6 pantry seasonings completely transform the humble pork tenderloin into a meal that’s one of our family’s top 5 favorites. I’ve made this Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin with a dry rub seasoning for well over a decade now, and it turns out perfectly every time.

With only 5 ingredients, this Crock Pot Pulled Pork recipe a great weeknight meal (that will leave you with leftovers) or an easy meal for a large group. It just takes minutes to throw in the slow cooker and then hours later yields a flavorful, fall-apart-tender shredded pork.

Our recipe for Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls is next level. Crafted with homemade dough, each roll enfolds savory ham and melty mozzarella. This kid-favorite, big-batch recipe works well to make ahead and freeze, too.
